Big Fish waste not want not.

[taxidermist]

I see a lot of big fish being caught and kept.

I would like to get a few of these skins to mount for myself, going to build a new showroom in about 2 years and need fish skins, especially if you plan to eat them.

I would be willing to drive to the Branson area and skin these out, fillet the meat and package it for you.

The fish has to be carefully skinned out and I will do that for th skins.

Walleye, largemouth bass, Spotted bass, smallies and striper along with crappie.

Most days I can run right up from just past Harrison, well unless I am fishing.

Thanks

Dano, I grew up in and around Harrison. The place I spent most of my time was just out Cottonwood Rd on the sw corner of Bunker and Cottonwood intersection.

My Mom's ancestors homesteaded the land and gave the land for Summers Cemetary.

Brother still lives in the house on top of the second hill, The main part of the house was built 2 years beefore the civil war. MOm owns the remaining 30 acres.

My Dad's family is from Denver and Omaha area. His dad guided on Table Rock in the early days, his nick name was Toad he was a fishing legend. So I try to live up to the legend!!!

I was was doing taxidermy back in the 70-80's and was called to the Army until I was medically retired.

So I am back doing some fish, my wife wants to develope the taxidermy into a full-time business for her. She is a workaholic,, she quilts now and turns out a couple per month hand sewing parts and hand quilting.

I am about ready to hit Crooked Creek for some smallie action!! TIme is about right. I have not fished the Buffalo much but am planning on it, depends if I can get back up river with the motor.

We are headed to Beaver Creek on Bull SHoals this afternoon. Wife's Dad has a place right at the mouth up creek from the dock.

The Wednesday I am headed to Taneycomo. I get torn between fishing a new area and hitting White River, I can always catch fish on the White.

Did you see the post on Fridays trip? I caught a 17 1/2 inch largemouth bass about halfway between Gastons and the DAM!!!!! Throwing a Rogue!! had several 14 inch fish, good solid (Rainbows) 14ers!!

Gotta spool on more line on my favorite rod and reel.

John, I pass that way everyday, I am out on Baughman Cuttoff, off Bunker. I probably have seen your work before or at least your shop at some point. I did see your post about the largemouth and I would suspect that is unusual in that part of the White. I love to fish the Buffalo but it pretty much takes a canoe to get to the good spots as most accesses are to busy to hold much fish. Crooked Creek, is one of my favorites especially over at Snow and at Kelly's Slab. I also like to fish Long Creek, but haven't in several years. I have been scoping some places on Bear Creek also for this Spring.
