I went the glass route so here is what i learned. I had one done by the late great Wally Brown in 1990. Cost me 550 plus $ even back then, he charged 10 bucks and inch. Took over a year as he was always busy. Called him at 10 Pm the nite of the catch, I think he was used to late calls. Actually called him the nite before with a 54 inch fish but had sticker shock and canned the idea. Next nite bigger and heavier and thought what the hell this isn't going to happen again. Don't drag it along any jetties or rocks as you will dislodge the scales, like I knew that. At least drag it on one side so the mold will come out nice. Also make sure you have a place to display it as large fish hanging on an 8' wall can put your eye out, and it doesn't go with a lot of the better half's interior design ideas. Years of memories and after you get skunked you can look at it and say at least one nite I knew what the hell I was doing.
