Damn that's a pig... All of 32+....

Way to go! I'd suggest Rick Leach Taxidermy as well, he did my big fish as well.

Speaking of which, does Dave Campbell use pre-made fiberglass fish or does he just start from scratch? Meaning, Rick Leach told me he makes all the molds that most taxidermists use. The mold for mine is about 1/2" short of the real length but 3/4" larger in girth.

No.

Any fish taxidermist that goes in to competitions and *wins* doesn't use someone else's molds...

As they like to say "Any idiot can paint a fish. Takes a truly talented idiot to *make* a fish!"

Awesome fish, Tilley! thumbs
