    Dave Campbell - www.davecampbellfish.com

    He's done a 12lb 8oz largemouth and a 6lb 4oz smallie for me, they turned out great. He is working on a 10lb 12oz largemouth and a 10lb 4oz largemouth for me as we speak, can't wait to see them finished! Links to the 12lb 8oz and 6lb 4oz are below.

    Good luck in your search...

    I'm not a fan of the very shiny finish on any bass mount.

    A shiny finish makes it look wet. It also adds depth to the paint. It just needs to be done right. A weakness I see in mounts is the fins and gills. Translucent fins look a lot more realistic. Thick, flat painted fins just look like old school taxidermy to me. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve had a mount done, so I couldn’t give any current recommendations. Wildlife Creations (Bass Pro) used to do good reproductions and skin mounts. Not sure where they are today.

    That’s as good as I’ve seen in a while.
