Who in the Corpus Christi area do we have to do a fish skin mount?

What are the alternatives (replica) on the same for a measured CPR fish?

I want a good job so how long should I expect to wait for the finished product?

I am a fan of Marti of All Creatures. I gave him my 21 pound snapper meat and all, as a gift today because he has been such a stand up guy.... He treats me right on deer, mounts, skins and gives me exotic meat here and there and I only know him through his business.

David Ripley in Aransas Pass. He is a good friend of mine and is an excellent taxidermist. Probably a lot faster turnaround time than most at a reasonable rate. 325-436-9373

You wont find better work anywhere.

Hands down, John Glenn is the best in this area. The problem is that everyone else thinks so also so it will be a while before you get your fish back. I have 13 mounts. John has done almost all of them. The ones that were done elsewhere, John will be re-painting.

X2 on John Glenn. He is the best, but expect a very long wait. Took two years three months to get my 30" sow trout. But well worth it. His freezer is huge and filled with fish.

I went with John Glen after having other taxidermists in the area refer me to him. Once I saw his work there was no question about the quality of the skin mounts. Yes the time is close to a year TAT.

Has anyone done a replica?
