I like your posts Taxidermist. And there is no way that your taking of browns is going to put any kind of dent in the brown populations. By having better molds avaialble it might actually encourage others to release their fish to have a mold made from one of yours. I tell you what I would love seeing pictures of smallmouth that you've done. I had a smallie mounted by a unnamed taxidermist here in Springfield and he managed to take a beautiful fish and make it really dull and ugly. do you repaint fish?

Thanks for the support. With the 2009 size limit if 24 inches on browns its going to slow a lot of skinmounts down in tha size range, so I am working on my own line of replicas in those sizes.

Yes, it can be repainted, I repaint a lot of fish every year, I will take a pic if a fish I have hanging here and post it. Smmallies are awesome they can be from black to bright, if you have a pic or two of your live fish I can get pretty darn close on the markings and color.
