If I were to spend the money on a fish mount I would go with a replica, rather than the actual fish. Replicas do not deteriorate like the real thing does, they are easier to keep clean and you can either eat the fish or release it. Check our several taxidermists that do replicas before you have the fish in hand and check out their work. You will have to take accurate measurements of the fish both length and girth and take a lot of pictures of the fish so the taxidermist can do a proper paint job.
