I was guessing in the $200-300 range for a good one. Probably not much more than using the real fish. But they will last forever and look better. Plus you don't have to kill the fish. A good blown up picture does the justice of the catch for almost nothing. The point is.....you caught a toad.....here's the proof.

BassPro shops also offers the service.  That's where the club got the 7lb 12oz replica for the booth over 10 years ago.  Larry Gonczy's son, Lucas, was 14 yrs old (I believe) when he caught and released that monster in Silver Lake.

Here's one I found. The best thing is to do a search for "replica bass mounts."

this one looks pretty good too.

I could get really lucky and catch a lunker one day.  Hey, it could happen.  Roll Eyes

So, if I do, I'd like to be armed with a few facts and figures about replica mounts, like how much do they cost?  Where does one go to get one of them?  Can anyone shed some light?

Speaking of wall hanger. I wish more people knew that you can buy replica mounts of your fish. If you take the measurements and pictures, you can get a replica that looks exactly like your fish. They last way longer than "fish" mounts. Plus you can still release the lunker to be caught again. My Dad has two and the details of the fish are identical to his pictures.

WOW  Shocked I've fished that lake quite a bit with my largest around 3lbs but that is great to know even bigger ones are there. 

Congrats

Cool, Says! Way to go! That is a pig... and Sawyer can be an awfully tough lake at times.

Caught my biggest bass ever yesterday on Sawyer using soft plastics.  The largemouth went 5lb 5oz.  Caught many others in the 9-10" range and 1 that was 12" that weighed about a pound.  Slow presentation was the key and a slight overcast didn't hurt either.
