Nice fish!

 

I usually hate fish mounts by most taxidermist to be honest. They can never capture the way the fish truly looks. Fish are a tricky thing to paint. The guys who fish for them day in and day out know how to paint them. Here is an example:

 

 

The top one is a 17lb Steelie I caught in June done by a "local" guy. The bottom is a 17lb Steelie done by Paul Czarnicki. I have to look at the top one every day at home and kick myself for letting someone ruin my trophy. Do it right, and pay the $. Don't be cheap. Paul fishes for these things daily. He knows what one looks like. He is the best taxidermist on the lake HANDS DOWN!

 

I have seen a guy in Olcott's Walleye mount skills, and he did a great job with it. His name is Gary Ramming if you're looking for someone closer than Paul. 

 

 

That being said.....nice fish! My mark for a Walleye was 10lbs too, but last year I did a 30" 11.5lb beast on the first morning of my Quinte trip, and a 29.5" 12lb tank on my afternoon sit. They came way to easy, so both were eaten, and now my mark is 13+.

Nice work Rick.   Sure doesn't get much better than that! Pikefreak- Rick is 100 % right about doing it right. It is one of those things in life you don't do half way. Paul Czarnecki is a masterful artist  and you want to be proud of your fish hanging on the wall not "sheepish" to show it to folks".  He's be my first pick for sure.

[zackblain]

I had a walleye done by scott samolis in honeoye last year, did a great job. PM me if you want pictures. 

[rod hog]

brian how big was that pike

[whaler1]

Gary Ramming did one of my Browns and did an outstanding job. American Wildlife also does outstanding work as does Paul. A lot of great choices!
