Hey all, just a few questions as I get started in this process.
First, I was too excited to get back to fishing and all I got were weight, length, and pics. Didn't get girth, will that cause problems?
Next, what are typical price ranges? (The fish was 25.25" and 11.7lbs, for reference)
Last, are there any places you would recommend? I live in Dallas.
Oh and also if you have any unique backgrounds or just feel like posting pics of yours I'd love to see them to get ideas. If you don't mind including company and price that would be extremely helpful too!

Lake Fork Taxidermy. I didn't get girth on mine either, just took in several pictures and they were able to make the replica. Mine was 25 1/2 and 11.4 and it cost me $380. Here is a picture of my fish and mount.

Lake Fork Taxidermy did a great job for me too. Price will depend on what kind of background, if any, you get. Contact them and they'll send you a ton of examples to choose.
