Luke from Blackwater Trading Co. did a superb job on my King and even got it done early. It was not supposed to even be started until August, but I got the call to pick it up on Sunday.

These pictures do not do give you a real feel for the detail and size, it looks great in my Den.

(For those that don't know, this fish was caught last summer at Westport.)

I would highly recommend Luke to do your replica.

Steve- That is one hog of a fish, and it looks almost as real as the original photo. A quality replica for sure. That picture for you avatar looks familiar, oh I remember, fishnphysician posted it on Ifish and said it was HIS westport fish. \:D Quality fish, and quality mount man!

Do you have any contact info on this company? I would like to have it handy just in case I stumble into a hog like yours.

Luke Filmer is the man to go to. I just picked up my 28lb Steelhead and saw your king in the works. What a great guy to work with. It is worth the trip once he has your information as you will discuss mount options--and to see what the process is for a mount is incredible-He is gifted.
I see that fish on the wall and get goose bumps reliving the catch, its truelly beautiful, and Im very happy-unless I catch a 30. Then I will see how good he is at "splicing".

Nice fish! If you don't mind me asking how much did the replica cost? I hope to have mine done when I catch a 50#.

Thanks
