Having a prized catch mounted by a taxidermist is becoming more popular these days. More and more you will see some type of fish mounted and hanging the wall of a business or friend’s house.

Buying mounted fish is also starting to catch on and more anglers would rather buy a mount replica than pay for the process of having a real one mounted which can get expensive. More often than not, you can find a mounted fish of the same species that  matches the one you caught and would like to memorialize on your den or office wall.

Fish taxidermy is an art and it takes a good taxidermist to mount a fish correctly so that it looks as life like as possible. A lot goes into the process and the person doing it must be a skilled artist as well as a taxidermist so they can paint the final features on the fish to bring it to life after the  taxidermy process has been completed.

Replica fish mounts are also starting to catch on with the angler crowd for several reasons. They don’t actually use real fish but instead create a replica from a real fish and many times they look just as good as an original mounted fish. This also allows the angler to actually eat what they catch and preserve the memory of the catch buy buying a replica mounted fish of the species they caught.

Buying replica fish mounts is even better overall since it helps preserve the species if you practice catch and release or if you like to eat what you catch, you’re not wasting a perfectly good fish just for vanities sake. You can even have replica mounted fish created from photographs of a fish.
