Anyone know of any affordable fish taxidermists around the Shreveport/Bossier area? I've got a couple of bruiser white perch I need done. The biggest one is just shy of 18 inches and weighs about 3.5 pounds. I've spoken to a few but $15-$18 per inch seems kind of high.
I'm pretty sure with fish they order a replica and it's not the same fish at all. Order some ceramics. 3.5 is a dam big fish for white perch. Anything over 1.5 lbs. is a trip-maker. At Larto they limit out with 1 plus pounders this time of year. I have a friend that catches some nice ones on the river too. I've never fished the river for white perch but would love to.
Lake Grenada in MS. boasts about their trophy white perch, not to mention I've seen some monsters come out of there. I'd just like to get this one done, so I can enjoy it forever, the other was my GF's first fish ever caught and was jut under 17 inches, it was a really nice fish.
