Lake Fork taxidermy is hard to beat in that area. They all pretty well charge by the inch in the $15-$20 per inch range. Creations by Bev. is another good one at Lake Fork. Don't expect to get your fish back for at least 6 mo. to a year.

People can give taxidermist recommendations like a Ford Chevy debate at times so I will try to stay away from names. I had 2 mounts done by one of the companies list in this thread (they were great to deal with). They looked fine at the time until I finally caught my first DD and decided to go with another company based in Waco based on a recommendation. It's Fish Scale taxidermy. And yes, I read some of the complaints about poor communication and taking so long to get you the product. However I spoke to him about it on my initial call and he got me mine in about 3.5 months well ahead of the 6+ months he quoted.

The detail he provides is the best I have seen. He WILL take longer than most and may not communicate very well at times but his work is amazing. He's also a little more expensive than others (around $425). Here are some of the pictures of mine and I took some close up shots to show you the detail that most others simply don't provide. And no, I have zero affiliation with the guy and haven't even spoken to him since I got this mount back more than 2 years ago.
