[quote flygoddess]Tell Shell, still waiting to go fishing.....
I am so glad you joined us. I am a firm believer in Replicas. In Windrivers case, where he could not afford the mount at the time, with replicas you can wait till you have the money, just need good pictures and measurements....plus gives someone else a chance to maybe land that same trophy.
Of course, there is nothing wrong if you would like to consume them...[/quote]
I'll tell her, Joni! She has alot on her plate right now for sure, but she has mentioned that she's looking forward to getting a chance to fish with you!
Yeah on fish mounts, I tried for years to make skin mounts that really look full and alive and not shruken and never could. I have a huge admiration for the few people that can.
In the cases where someone brought me the actual fish to mold, many times we've molded it quickly and still ate it afterword. Sounds gross I know- lol, but it's like making sure the fish didn't die in vain.
Love it when someone decides to release a big wild steelhead because they are pretty confident that I, or someone else, has a really good mold to match!
