Picked up my gill from the taxidermist the other day. Color looks great and size is still pretty close. He even got my homemade jig put in there!

Nice looking mount! How big was the gill?

cnewby · « **Reply #2 on:** Oct 05, 2012, 10:17 AM »

10 1/2" before mount, just over 10" after.

Yep, that's amazing. I need a [mindblown] smiley.

Where did you catch that beast?

cnewby · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 06, 2012, 07:58 AM »

Taxidermist said the ice was a 2-part plastic that he heated up to form. The fish was caught in KZoo Co. last Feb.

Cute minnow:)

However, that's a fairly common fish for those waters!!

nice mount

Chris338378 · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 16, 2012, 08:06 PM »

That's a great mount. I never thought of having a fish mounted like it was swimming being caught ice fishing but I sure will be in the near future.

Machine · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 17, 2012, 08:47 PM »

Very nice, it gets me in the mood. I have already gotten my gear ready.

O.NE-CrappieMan · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 19, 2012, 04:21 PM »

How much would that cost? I want one!!!

cnewby · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 22, 2012, 11:14 AM »

This particular mount was $230... something like $150 for the fish and $80 for the extras. If anyone wants a good all-around taxidermist between KZoo and GR, John Overbeek is worth the call!
