I got a few fish mounts back today

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

That's their destination fisher! And there'll be no better way to kick things off then to have hawk talkers come through the door first.

schteevie,

That's an incredible job on the replica (bass) mount. I'm no expert, but I'd never know it wasn't real, even in that close up. It looks like it was just lifted out of the water. Fantastic...

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

Whats the average price of a skin mount?

A friend just had one done by advanced taxidermy, not a skin obviously, and he wouldn't say the price of it, would only say that $400. was a down payment for it and that wasn't half the price of it for a 40" or so pike.... :o

Spanky, the industry standard is $10/inch.

Those mounts look fantastic!!!

I am definetly going to get a skin mount one of these days! I love admiring the ones of my late grandfathers. I can just hear him telling those fish stories!

I'd love to get a beauty bass mounted or a decent sized muskie.
