For the catch and release fisherman-
1. For those of you that desire not to keep your trophy fish, you have other options- take quality close up photos of fish, measure from the tip of nose to the tip of tail, and around the girth of fish at the widest point of body.
A fiberglass reproduction of your fish can be constructed.
Your fish can also be skillfully designed into a piece of fine art, by having the fish and all the habitat (rocks,driftwood,grass,etc.) custom hand carved from various types of wood, then carefully painted to match each individual species of fish.
Both of these type of fish replicas can be achieved by having good quality close up photographs and proper measurements of your fish.
TRY THIS-
Have your trophy fish professionally mounted, and then have it all custom hand carved from wood.
For larger fish a miniature size wood carving can be designed and then hand carved to replicate your larger trophy fish. ( please ask for size details )
You will get two professionally designed pieces of art, one of your real trophy fish (mounted), and one that resembles your trophy fish (wood carved), two pieces of art you will cherish for a life time.
