    Default Who's the BEST Crappie


    Taxidermist out there? Most guys can mount them right, but it takes a REAL artist to paint them correctly. I need a GREAT artist to do a fish for me. Lets see what y'all got!!!!!

    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:

    I would say Doug has one of the best crappie mounts I ever saw in his shop. I believe he told me he won some kind of big award for this mount. Very realistic mount. He brought it to our shindig last year and everyone made some great comments about it. Great artist! 5 Rivers Taxidermy & Outfitters

    There is a guy right here in your hometown, his last name is, Rabbi, or Rabi. Used to have a shop on Broadway and had to close it down due to health problems. Last I heard he was working. He is darn good. Haven't heard from him in a long time. He might be worth trying to find

    Butch Skillern is by far the best fish taxidermist around bowling green, ky. He can paint them to look lifelike.
