I couldn't believe he would go for a bait so small as mine! Anyone know of a good taxidermist, and what the going rate is for mounting a monster this big?[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Ha ha! All joking aside, most taxidermists have a minimum size charge. Mine was 17 inches. So you talking about $320.00 for your tiny bass! The minimum charge was because when someone brought you in something like a 15 inch Black Crappie, which needs a ton of detailed coloring and detail work..just about as much as a 25 inch Largemouth bass mount would.
If you ever actually really wanted to find a great top quality fish taxidermist (replicas only please..release your fish back alive), let me know.
Enlarge the pic below for a better view of the detail involved…(in the bass mount)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I always release bass no matter what size they are, But if I were ever to get a replica it would be from the guy that did the one in that picture. The detail is amazing dude I've actually never seen one that good
