Who does good fish taxi?

i used rusty ponder in denison. great work. he mounted a 23 lb. channel cat that my son caught at amistad. it is the lake record,and also the jr. state record channel cat. not a very good pic. looks better in person

looks great catfish are hard to recreate

Johnson Taxidermy in Durant OK. he holds many fish awards and a great guy. www.johnsontaxidermy.net

Fish Scale Taxidermy

Wow Dixie those are some awesome looking fish

look around for places that do fiberglass repros, let the fish live another day, some good ones in Florida

those are nice!!!!!

Those are all replicas

That is not taxidermy that is art. Very fine mounts.

This maybe a silly question, but how do you do replicas? Do you just take a lot of photos of the fish while out fishing, or do you take it straight to the taxi in the live well then run him back out to the lake? Or do you need to take measurements with a tape while on the lake? I have a couple fish mounts but they are the old fashion fish on the wall, I like the replicas a lot better.....

Duck its actually a question that gets asked all the time you take the measurements. Then take as many pictures as possible every angle and every detail, you can never have enough Pictures.

ive heard its just as easy to do it from pictures and measurments then the real fish! is that true?

texaspride- Ya you are right replicas last longer and in the process you make PETA happy by releasing the fish.

Lake Fork Taxidermy does some of the best work I have seen. They do all the replicas for the TPWD Sharelunker Program

cool deal thanks for the info, I might have to get my 10 lb bass on the wall replicated here in the next few years, its the old skin mount and it starting to look pretty rough...
