Looks great. Do you send him the fish or just pictures?
This is about the most realistic, "true to original", "fresh out-of-the-water looking" crappie mount I have ever seen.

Here's a Stringer Mount of Lake Greeson fish he did for us:
We'll definitely be sending more work his way!

looks great! very realistic
That is a great looking mount! HECKUVA a fish too!
To me the live fish looks like a white and the mount looks like a black. But I'm easily confused and both are very fantastic looking though.

It was a hybrid so it has characteristics of both. I wish I had a picture of the same side. It was raining and pretty dark when I took the picture of the mount today. I'll get a better one with some sunshine (if we ever get any). I took one with the flash on and it didn't work at all - too shiny.

Yea, we don't see very many that nice for sure. Carlos Duggan (runs my second boat) caught that fish last spring on a Bamboo Crappie Condo I suggested he check while he was fishing a brush pile close by. At the time he didn't know that a guy fishing with me the day before caught one there that was nearly as big.
