white perch mount

[Holden Turbitt]

i decided to mount a white perch i caught for the "man cave"  I am by no means a taxidermist, so we added the google eyes and an old root for the base. Didnt come out bad for my first ever attempt haha

Looks good for your first try im going to do some yellow perch in the spring when ice season is over i can only hope they turn out as good as yours.

Very interesting and creative.

For a first mount, that's pretty impressive. If you get the right size artificial fish eyes instead of whatever that is you used, and add some silver paint it would look A LOT better. I'm not  a taxidermist either, but it has been my hobby for many years.

This is my perch mount, can't take any credit paid a professional to get it done...

Here are the first 2 i did i no they are small but wanted to try on something that was not a trophy.

i was going to paint it but wanted to make sure i could even do all the steps to get it to that point. The next one i will do im doing it right (real eyes, paint, etc)

Looks good to me I've been thinking bout messing around and trying a few things out for myself lately also.

I've been doing taxidermy 31 years now and the mounting process is easier than people think.  I didn't say it's easy.....just saying easier than one might think.  When it comes to fish customization which is what I specialize in, the most difficult aspect to learn is the painting.  Having said that, I do see potential with these mounts. Good luck and keep on practicing.
