    Striper Mount

    Does anyone have a Recommendation for a "Good" outfit to make a Glass mount of a large bass? Caught a 51.5"--50.5# bass Sunday
    and always promised myself if I did I would get it mounted

    I'm an agent for Grays out of Florida, they just sent me a small mount to use as a display on my boat for the winter Striper season and I have to say it is one of the best looking ones I have seen, the colors were great and their price is hard to beat.
    Give them a call and ask for Ashley, tell her i referred you and they will help you out 1-877-450-8125. All they need are the measurements you have.

    Good luck and congrats on your fish, I have a lot of customers that are going to be wanting to catch one just like it this winter !

    Another option

    That is a great looking mount. Another option for you guys to consider is to commission Hanes Hoffman to do a copper replica. The copper lasts forever and is so beautiful that your wife will love it so much she will let you keep it in the living room rather than the shed. I just had him do a 9.6 # flounder for me and it is truly stunning. His website is www.bluewatercopperworks.com and he has pictures of lots of his work on there. This picture doesn't do it justice, as the light hits it from different directions it changes colors like a rainbow. It turned out to be about half the price of a fiberglass mount.

    In all my research, I ran across this other guy in Florida who does museum quality work and had the most realistic flounder mounts I have seen. That being said, tell me which you would rather look at day after day:
