I have a 7lb 4 oz Rainbow Trout mounted that I caught when I was 11yrs old. the original cost according to my parents was $75 to have it mounted. It has been redone once and re-coated another time. Total cost for those two was $245!!!!
It now sits in a box packed away?
Remember a skin mount requires upkeep or you will be paying to have it redone! Trust me I know!!

Hey Clammer I bet ya know where I caught the fish!! HEHEHEHE

Pictures are worth a thousand words and dont cost near as much!! Have it blown up and framed and let her live to fight another day!!
