mounts?

LincolnLunger · 07-05-2008, 11:13 PM

I would like to get a mount of a fish that I caught but I already released it...Is there some way I can still get a mount of it?

did you take a picture of it? and measurments? they make fiberglass mountes.

Yes I did. hey bowhunter do you know how much it will cost to get a mount of a 17in crappie?

Probably $10 - $14 an inch, possibly with a minimum amount.

You let me know where to catch one and I will let you know how much it will cost

thats right about 10 to 14 $ an inch. I do taxidermy but not fish, theres a guy I have heard of from people in lincoln that does a good job on fish.

Call Brian Lewon in Randolph, he's one of the best.

the guy in lincolns name is bob palik, he does really nice fish

I recently took a 17.5" crappie to Delton Wegner in Central City to be mounted. Total bill will be $180 with the driftwood stand to go on the bookcase. He is an amazing painter and does a fantastic job on mounts and replicas.

I have two other crappie mounts that he has done.

I will second Lewon's taxidermy in Randolph, he did a northern for me about 10 years ago and it still looks like it came straight out of the water. He does the most realistic fish mounts I have seen.

Tim Cave in Columbus did a walleye for us and a lmb for my parents. Both are excellent. Price was good too.
