Ron is in business, his shop is in Rockwall off of 276 at his home ://www.fishcreations.com/. I used Ron Kelly at Lake Fork to mount this 14.19. Might try him.  Ron Kelly did my 10.68. Is he still doing taxidermy? I heard he had quit but that is only what I heard. Not sure. his shop was on 515 not far from Star Mart. Didn't see it last time I was there. He was a little slow on mine but was covered up at the time. Saw a lot of his mounts and they were great. Ron is doing fine except he has the flu right now, he is doing a smallmouth, blue marlin, and a bull durado for me right now.

Congratulations on the great fish!
This past year I had a 9.34 mounted by Bev's Fish Creations of Lake Fork. She did a great job, was very reasonable and a quick turn around.
You catch her on lake Fork? Call Bev, you won't be sorry.........

you can usually find something approximating your girth and length at garage sales. After a couple of months, you won't remember the difference in markings and after a couple of years you won't care. I caught a 12#r at Ray Bob in 2007 or 2008. I just let her go back. I looked at garage sales for a surrogate but didn't find one. I did find a mounted bullfrog though; he's playing an accordion. Every time I look at that frog I remember catching that fish ... and Guantanamera plays in my head.
Nice fish.

You can find Ron Kelly on FB. He is in Rockwall now and still one of the absolute best in the business!

 I use Lake Fork Taxidermy. I personally think their paint jobs are more realistic than any.

My Sharelunker looks nothing like my actual fish. My replica is 24-25" and the real fish was 27". Maybe they do a better job with individual mounts
