Getting a fish mounted/stuffed? Biggest fish u ever caught?

Where would I go or call or whatever to get a fish mounted and stuffed? Like if you caught a big one? Or what would I google? I can't find out about the price or anything.

Also, what is the biggest fish you have ever caught? Just curious. I moved in to my new house which is on a lake about 3 weeks ago and the biggest I have caught is a 19 1/2 inch bass. My brother is right behind me with a 17 1/2 inch bass.

taxidermist id assume

taxidermist ?

What you need my friend, is a taxidermist. I had a big bass done about 10 years ago and it only cost me $50, but I knew the guy so you'll probably wind up paying a lot more.

I just found this site -> http//www.dansfishtaxidermy.com/pages/281533/index.htm and he charges $10 an inch, so I did get one hell of a deal. If you're in north AL maybe I can hook you up.

Ok thanks.. I got an idea now. How big was the fish you caught?

I have a yard long barracuda hanging above my fishtank.

Also a moosehead somewhere. S

It was an eight pound largemouth bass, which isn't huge or anything, but it came out of a small pond on my Dad's farm and it was by far the biggest fish to come out of that pond, so I got it mounted.

You don't stuff a fish...... the taxidermist creates a mold of it and paints it just like it looked.

That's not 100% true. There are people that do skin mounts and those that just do a mold and then paint it. Mine was a skin mount.

Just because you tuck your shirt in and push the fish closer to the camera for the one, doesn't mean you can pass them off as two different fish.
