    Default Bass mount

    Its been discussed but not recently it seems. I caught a good one Saturday and want her hanging in amongst the deer, measured her and released. Who paints replicas and does a great job? Price is secondary, I want top notch work in a reasonable timeframe like 8 months to a year. Thanks

    Those are my friends but Fish aren’t there specialty. Their deer heads are second to none though.

    Keith Crout in West Columbia. Last time I was in there he said his son was taking over the business but he was going to keep painting fish for him.

    Replica
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    I guess Great Outdoors fish guy ain't so good no more.
    A replica was mentioned- it has a few advantages over a skin mount, it won't rot, bugs won't eat it, the skin won't shrink, it can easily be touched up- I have seen some great ones.

    Mr. A.O. Freeman used to do some awesome mounts, back in the 80's and 90's he was the man everybody trusted with their bass- he is still in business.

    How are they doing? Haven’t been there in years. They were good people.

    Try Mount This Fish Company. You will have a replica in a month sized and painted to your catch.
    You can review final pics before shipment.
    Prices are very good.

    New wave does good work but be warned- their prices are steep- even higher than some of the long term replica companies.

    It’s true.

    Better off feeding them to the coons.

    1-2 lbs is the best eating size.

    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    Talked with Rodney off the site and he's got the green light to proceed, Whenever its done y'all can judge it but I think it'll turn out just fine. Always great to be able to support the folks that support the site!
