That's beautiful. I've read about freeze drying on smaller fish, but I didn't know they did ones that large.

Seems the big thing now is the replica mount. That's the big thing with the catch and release guys.

Again,
beautiful work,
Stan

That's a beautiful mount. I wish I could catch something worthy of displaying on my wall (Replica mount for me). Congrats.

Mounted Tuc

Postby tucmaster » Thu Jul 12, 2007 10:49 pm

As Stan mentioned, the trend nowadays is replica mounts. Unfortunately, at the time I landed this fish, I wasn’t aware that "peacock bass" replica blanks (unfinished body - no eyes or paint) were available at a few mainland taxidermy supply houses, and that I could have bought one and sent it to my own taxidermist for finishing. The only downside to replica blanks is that they're available in only a very few sizes (lengths) and you might or might not be able to find a size that closely matches your catch. My taxidermist didn’t make or stock replica blanks. If I had been aware of tuc replica blanks, I agree that would have been the way to go.

That being said, Lake Wilson’s catch-and-release rule, in effect since June 1, 1998, doesn’t apply to privately-owned ponds. So landing a large fish in a private pond gave me with a unique opportunity to realize a dream of mine since I was a kid – a mount of a large tuc. This one private pond fish aside, I continue to practice catch-and-release with all tucs and bass wherever I catch them, public or private waters.

Below are some pics of tuc replicas by mainland taxidermy studios that I found online while looking for a taxidermist. The first is a replica of a Florida tuc. The second one is a replica of a Brazilian tuc (cichla temensis). The third is a replica with a wild chartreuse and black paint job. You can see why I went with John Martinez – he is truly an artist. See you out on the lake, and good luck and good fishing.

Here is the web site of the guy I'm ordering my mounts from. http://www.aa-taxidermy.com/index.shtml

I sent him some pictures of fish I've taken. Since we have the same peacock bass as in Florida, colors shouldn't be a problem.
Check out his picture gallery. There is this Red Devil looking thing.
He was telling me that on the little fish like bluegill (red devils?) they do a freeze dry and then paint the actual fish. Great idea for a kids first fish. Or grandkids first fish? 8)

When I get the mounts back, I'm puting them in the Nervous Water Fly Shop so you guys can see the "cute little Tuc" that I caught. :lol:

Aloha,
Stan
