"once in a lifetime" trout

[Salty]

but, I ain't so sure about this replica. Does it have no color, or, is it just me?

Great Replica Trout Mount - 2CoolFishing

[Big Flounder]

Think it's the lighting and the background. Maybe?

[LPfishnTIM]

looks like its missing the iridescence that a speckle trout has.

[CrazyD]

looks like some one used chrome spray paint on it

[Jadams]

All replicas look like **** just kill the damn thing and get skin mount

No lie, that was a waste of money to me

[bmac]

so...when making a replica mount, does the taxidermist just look at the picture and go from there? If so, I think it would be better to just put the picture in a nice frame. That replica looks stupid.

[Big Flounder]

That's why I joined the Internet world! I couldnt find anyone in the state to actually mount a flounder. Everyone wanted to make a replica. So I joined the other site they told me to take it to Steve German and they mounted it for me.

[Likeuhboss]

Yeah that guy got hosed... Awful replica

Agreed. Fish probally ended up dying anyways.

[redaddiction]

I'm sorry but it just wouldn't be the same if I caught a monster trout and just had a piece of plastic to look at! I want the real thing! Especially if it's gonna look like that junk!

[calcutta37]

It looks like crap...

[Doliver]

Looks like one of them agravateing big mouth bill bass singing mount lol.

I agree. I have looked at this pic a few times thinking surely it has to be the lighting or something.

I can see some semblance of the irredescent colors on the fins. Wish there was a better shot. The lighting and angle has to have alot to do with it looking this way. This guy knows what a trout looks like, so, I can't believe he would accept a trophy replica that almost looks unpainted.

That's what I'm thinking also. I would think that even a crappy taxidermist could make one look better than that.

Salty, have you ever painted a replica?

Got one in the shop right now. It came in about a month ago. Honestly, I don't know where to start. :rolleyes: :smokin:

The same guy that caught this fish is the one that talked me into tryin' it.

[Bluechip]

Cool.... I have no doubt it will come out beautiful.

If I ever catch a hawg trout, I would want you to paint it. With the attention to detail on your baits, I know what you could do with a trout.

If you ever feel like posting pics of it, I would like to see it.

I gotta get my "stuff" together before I even try. Thinkin' about ordering one of those detailed sheets from a taxidermist. Tell you which color to use where....almost like paintin' by numbers. :rolleyes: :smokin: :shaking: Then, I gotta get the colors. Mixin' colors ain't worth a crap.

The fella painting the replica didn't screw up (never seen a trout replica in my life that looked worth a ****)

Now the guy who released the 11lb trout back to the bay for crab bait....he screwed himself!

I had one that looked alive.

The taxidermist would be hanging that puece of **** on his wall, no way I would pay for that.

At 11 lbs. 1 oz....you probably ain't gotta worry about it.

[smooth move]

guy from Cameron had a booth by me at the Houston Fishing Show,can't remember his name, but he had the best replica's i've ever seen. only one i ever saw that i'd get a replica done at.

[Top H2O 2110]

Was it Hank Badon from Johnson's Bayou? He does a good trout replica.

[Lake Chuck Duck]

I dont see the point of a replica at all. If you want a piece of wall decor go to Hobby Lobby.
