I have a crappie I want to mount. Does anyone have any suggestions on who to take it to? I'd prefer it be within 1.5 to 2 hours from Winston County. Thanks.

I'd have to agree on that one. he does a heck of a job on fish and he is one heck of a nice guy as well.

I think he charges extra for post-spawn fish, though. 
Sorry, I couldn't help it. It was a nice fish and bigger than any crappie I ever caught.

Anymore recommendations? Or is it safe to say this guy is hands down the best you can get?

John Hamilton with To The Extreme Taxidermy is by far the best I have ever seen.
Re: Recommendations for fish mounting
Have you considered a replica? All you have to do is take a picture for color. Get some measurements and you can throw the fish back or throw him in the fryer. When I used to film for a fishing show we fished out of the country alot and was such a pain in the booty to bring a fish back on a airplane with us. If the host would catch a fish he wanted to mount he would get a replica made and you really would never know any difference unless someone told you it wasn't a real fish.

Go with Bobby. Seen plenty of his work from family members and friends.

Re: Recommendations for fish mounting
The fish is already in the freezer. I have it narrowed down to a couple of guys and will be calling around Friday to get some details.

Re: Recommendations for fish mounting
don't know how far it is from mendenhall, but bill conn in mccomb ms mounted mine a couple of years ago. he did a pair for me. 3.13 ounce 19 inches long and a 2.05 that i caught the same day.
he charged me like 150 a fish i think. i've never heard bad opinions about his work( don't mean they're not out there though).
just another idea.

Re: Recommendations for fish mounting
I had a guy in Greenville do mine and they are the best crappie mounts I have seen. I have a 3lb 9oz, 3lb 4oz and a 3 even all mounted on the same piece of drift wood. I don't know how to post pictures but if you will email me I will send you some. The guy's place was called True Life taxidermy. I can put you in contact with him.
