Looks great. I have a largemouth, that I have been waiting for almost 3 years now. The guy keeps giving me the run around each time I call.

Nice job just to bad about the time frame!!</p>
 
A friend of mine had a LM done by Bud Hull, he had it back in about 3 weeks and it looks great.
 
its two different fish 6lbs and one is 5lbs the 6 is mine the 5 is my dads thanks for the info i think i will try bud hull next time and i hope it is real soon!
 
Order a graphite next time. The mount is the same and saves the fish. Also they can get it to you in about 4 weeks or so. Just make sure you measure them and weigh them with a few pictures to show the color. They paint them to match. Either way, beautiful fish.
 
Beautiful fish! I reckon I'm an idiot though? I have had several fish, of many different species mounted over the years by 2 or 3 taxidermists I was aquainted with and can't ever remember getting one back sooner than at least ten months, more often a year or more. I always assumed it just took that long to get one mounted?
 
Very nice looking mount anyfish. The problem with most of the taxidermists is that they are part timers. Very few actually do it for a full time job. They just do the work as they get time. Bud hull is a full time taxidermist with folks hired to help. He will get whatever you bring to him done in weeks. His work is second to none and will stay that way for years.
