    I caught a nice largemouth over the weekend that I would like to get a replica of. I have quite a few pictures and the weight from the tournament scale, but I never got the length of it. Are pictures enough for a taxidermist to work with?

    Also, does anyone have someone they would reccomend for such a task?

    Thanks

    One more good option is Toms Taxidermy in clarks grove on highway 35 about 20 miles north of albert lea.

    Pictures you say? Huh, I have to bring my computer in for repair because I am not seeing any in this post!

    I’ll go check the bass forum, there better be pictures!

    I had a walleye done last year with Artistic Angler. I would recommend them, at least a peek. I know he had lower rate at the sports show might want to bring that up maybe bring that up.
