I have a 55" 58lbs. mounted. I caught it in 1990. It cost me 600. Was lucky enough to have it mounted by one of the best fiberglass guys out there at the time, Wally Brown, of Falmouth Ma.. Not sure if he does it anymore. He was getting up there in age in 1990. Funny story on the fish. I caught a 52" 48 lbs. the night before and called him up to see what he charged. I thought it was too expensive and decided no. The next night I caught the 58 lber and figured it was fate so I should just go and do it and I did. No regrets. Probably costs twice that now and could not afford it with kids and all.
