SuperMn106 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 As you guys may know I recently caught a nice Largemouth (23" 7 lbs), I am going to get it mounted but not sure on how i want it done. I would like some replys with some suggestions and with pictures if possible. I am expecting to pay 400-600 for the mount, am i in the right ball park? Thanks for any help.

SuperMn106 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks Andrea. I am still kinda torn. I like the drift wood but I also like the look of the fake water but dont know how much that would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 The fake water I hear is expensive!! I know a guy that has one I will try and get a pic of it. But its in a glass box and the fish is jumping straight up out of the water. Weeds and ripples and water splash is in it all it is REALLY cool. Again I will see if I can hunt down a pic of it.

RTF Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Here is one I just finished not long ago. http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57756 A mount like this should not cost you no more then $250.00 no matter who does it. $400.00 to $600.00 will get you competition qaulity mounting. The average mounting price for a bass is $10.00 per inch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it would be cool to have the bass going after a little bluegill or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberlandtaxi Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'm fond of pedestal mounts myself, but wall mounts can be more practical at times, expect to pay anywhere from 8-20 dollars per inch, depending on the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMn106 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I have decided that i am going to go with a pedestal mount. The bass will be on a piece of drift wood. the mount will have lilly pads suspended and the bass going upwards after the spinner bait that i caught him on.

JimT Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I caught what sounds like the same fish not to long ago, and am just having it mounted on driftwood with the Jitterbug I cught it on. Your idea sounds great...Looking forward to seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
