What a pig!!!!! Cowboy

First one over 18" I'm mounting. I've caught several the last couple years over 17" but sill under my mark.

Next question is do u prefer skin mounts or replica mount....

I think the replicas look better if done right. I've heard taxidermy guys say the same to.

Replicas are great. Make sure you study the paint job and know if that's what you want. It's all about the painting and how they color a fish. Different lakes and water sheds have different colors. Make sure you pick someone that paints the colors of the fish you want. I have several skin mounts of fish, but I will probably go with a replica on my next one.

I agree a replica will be the way I go, I have a great piece of drift wood up in Kentucky I’m going to get during hunting season, and start a floor piece if I can catch a few pigs this spring

Replica, if I'm not eating it then I'm tossing it back.

I'll have the memories, but prefer the chance of the genetics of a big Crappie staying where I fish.
