i think id rather pay $400-700 and have a 50+# fish mounted on my wall than a Van Staal
|
a fish mounted means you would have something to look at...a van staal would mean you have something to do more fishing with!!! thats a toughy huh???
seriously (I think john said it) about 50# but it would all depend on the situation too...special story to the catch etc... |

Mount, I'd build myself a large saltwater tank, bringing a whole new meaning to the word livewell. |

Mount
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.

I have a skin mount of a surf caught 58#er. For me to mount another bass it would have to be > 60 and I still may not have it done. A 70 I would mount it for sure. I am thinking of having some ordinary fish of decent size: fluke, tog bonito albi's ect mounted and put in my man cave.

I think that when I break my current PR for blackfish, I'd like to get that mounted (currently that stands at 14.5, so concievably a 15lb tog would get mounted)...

Mount
Have a 48 inch fish I caught 9 years ago
and had it mounted. Cost at the time was
$185. The taxidermist placed it on a slab
of maple. Well worth it. Have captured a
few equal to that size over the years and have had a friend fishing with me on my boat grab a 5 footer. Great coversational piece. Want to place a 100 lb. Tarpon beside him. Ooooh La La!
