Hey, Gamedog, where did you catch those bad boys? Fort Peck? Nice fish anyway  :thumbup_smilie: :clapping:

Its hard to find gators that big in florida! Nice Art.

How long did it take you to get that hung on the wall??? My guess is 7 nail holes and at least 3 tries apiece to get them on the nail.

Very nice pike mounts Gamedog. :thumbup_smilie:

I like the way natural features like the driftwood and seaweed was incoperated into the background along with the pike and unlucky perch in the forground. ;D

Dandy sized pike by the way. ;)

These photo's are actually from the taxidermists business. I got the bigger of the two hung last night on the first attempt. Must of got lucky :clapping: Hopefully the second goes as well.

Gamedog..already complimented you on the fish and mount on "Ice Shanty".  Don't forget to remind everyone that these were caught through the ice!  Beautiful!

I know this is kinda personal , but what would a mount like that cost???  Ballpark would be o-kay.  I could see a price break on something like that just for the advertisement value.

$10.00 per inch including the drift wood and cabbage and perch. Not a bad deal in my book. Just seeing those two gets my blood pumping every time. Now I'm shooting for a 30lb'r ;)

The two perch were bought off ebay for $60.00 , but the taxidermist added those in with the $10.00 per inch charge. Anybody interested in the guy's info , just pm me. His work is awesome.
