Lake Fork Taxidermy does AWESOME replicas.
do they have a web site, i would not be closed minded, but if i caught that fish of a lifetime this afternoon it would be a real skin mount, like i mentioned the mouth and gill areas i have looked at have been done rather poorly, for me it would be like putting a set of polished porcelin antlers on a deer mount[:'(], but between now and when i do fianally eclipse the double digits maybe i'll run across something i like... i have turned a bunch back that i'm sure other people would have mounted or eaten[:-][:@], and i would not feel bad doing a skin mount knowing it may be my last fish to mount, i will/would honor another persons wish if i were fishing out of their boat or as a guest and the prefer not to remove the fish, then i would probably just go the replica route, and all or most of the tournaments i fish are strictly C&R, but fun fishing at this point its on the wall

(sorry)[&o]and i will keep checking out repo's
