His mammals and birds are insane good. I haven't seen many fish, though.

 

[guywhofishes]

yes - I thought same of his mammals/birds

maybe it’s an older walleye mount

Yep, that looks a lot like my Bride's walleye mount from Sportsman's. She was happy...that's all that matters in the end!

I am glad I had mine done by Zespy though.

Not going to get into a pissing match about replicas.
But things have changed considerably in the fish taxidermy world the past couple years..

I'm a big fan of quality replicas myself, and have all the respect in the world for folks that let big fish live to bite another day.
I released a 34 inch walleye last year. Got my measurements and figured I'd get a replica "she wasn't as big and stout as she should have been, maybe just old. She barely broke 15 and she should have went 18 in her prime. Anyways, turns out there are no 34 inch quality replicas forms, that was a bummer.

All replicas. I don't think they look that terrible..

I'll be the first to go on record saying that I can't paint a walleye.
