UPDATE!!! Got My mount back!!!! New Pics!
« on: May 05, 2009, 11:38 AM »
Guys,

After seven pages of constructive critisism I asked my taxidermist to work on the mount a bit.

Sorry the pic is a bit blurry.

I asked the guy to add some color to the mount, he took it back and painted it and also added some clear coat. He also fixed the fins for me.

In the meantime I found a nicer piece of wood to put it on.

What do you guys think of the updated mount? I included the original pic for comparison!!

Do you think it is too glossy??




Later,
PP

Pic is a little fuzzy but you can see it is a much better mount. I would say worth keeping.

U GOTTA BE KIDDING!!   :w00t: :w00t:
That is unbelievable.  I agree with "floatinwoody".  No way they are the same fish/mount (if that's what you would call them).
When is the punch-line coming?

That is definately NOT the same fish!!  How stupid do you think we are?  Your taxidermist should get into plastic surgery if he can do that!

Can't figure out why someone would have their bait mounted either.

this is hilariaous..   all this hype for a tiger trout..  HAHAH  It is funny.. When is the punch line coming?  It definitely is not the same fish.. the second mount is thinner, and the mouth and gills are open!  LOL ;D
