MCTFisher9120 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) I just shot off a e-mail to Advanced Taxidermy asking for the laydown and there phone number as I am moving forward and getting my 6lb 13oz largemouth bass recreated. In various threads I have seen pictures of the work they have done and I am asking to see it again here in this Replica Specific thread. I am going for a basic wood mount like the Walleye mount I seen on here, and I asked if I can have the exact same scratched up Rapala Skitter pop mounted into the same position as where it was hooked(as seen in the photographs). This is something that I need to have done for myself and the face that I can pay 50% down and make some smaller monthly payments is great. Share your stories and pictures of fish that have been created on a replica mount basis(doesnt need to be A.T. specific company) Thanks, MTBF Edited September 27, 2009 by Mike The Bass Fisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'd personally save the pics and get a replica done when you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radnine Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have no story to relay about replicas etc. but am thrilled that you are pursuing it. You will have something to talk about for the rest of your life. Good luck and let us know how you make out. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT8 smoker craft Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would be curious as to the price I have 2 LMB that are a touch lighter than yours that I have been considering getting a replica made of both with the 2 of them chaseing a few blue gills but I'm scared to know what it would cost feel free to PM if you don't want to put it on here .

Victor Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'd personally save the pics and get a replica done when you can afford it. I second that. As I'm also a student right now, I'd say, it's not really a great idea to have to put down so much $ + monthly payment of something that you don't absolutely need at the moment. You have the measurements & pics, so you can always get it done later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_fishin Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) i also agree with the other statements, you should wait until you can afford it... i know, you want it NOW!!! but think about all the fishing gear that you could buy with that money!!! LOL. i will definitely get a mount of that walleye done at some point, but not yet... right now, i still get a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time i look at the pictures of that fish (and that was back in February). like i said, i will get the mount done, but only when i can burn that amount of money Edited September 28, 2009 by gone_fishin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UhOh, now I'm getting the feeling of not getting it done at the moment lol. If the parents are helping me out I can't see why not, however 1 more rod/reel + line for the 4 or 5 rods + some new tackle would add up but that's what Christmas and B-Day money is for. I want to talk to the man about the service and if I feel I'm doing the correct thing then I'll move forward with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
