Any suggestions other than Bass Pro. Local here in our state ? Would like to get mounted replicas of this event and hang it in the tackle store, just in case this never happens again. That way at least I can sit in my chair and stare and drool. Any help welcomed. Regards.

carl - i get my replicas from david turnage in bellville. 979 865 8646, dturnage@peoplepc.com i'm happy with the ones i have gotten from him. pretty good turnaround time too. he's real good about working with how you want them painted, and he has his own molds that look more realistic than other replicas. most of the time he can meet you half way so you don't have to drive as far. my suggestion? get the 12 pounder eating the 3 pounder! or a stringer mount would be awesome.

David at Comal Taxidermy is the best. He could do an underwater splash mount chasing each of the lures you caught them on. That ought to make Barry, JC and Charles jealous.

Carl, the next time you come through here on your way to Rayburn or wherever, stop by my office. I have at least 2 or 3 of the above mentioned taxidermists' replicas hanging in my office that you can compare.
