Some of the best replica mounts that I've ever seen were from Lake Fork Taxidermy.

Bevs Fish creations just east of Emory. I have had her do several. I have been happy with them all. Though I Do change the stump the fish are mounted on. I find my own and then do it like I want.

Choose wisely based on the quality you want. I always say "you have to live with it , it better be good"
