MattL Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi, I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a taxidermist that is capable and experienced in mounting rough fish. I shot a nice longnose gar yesterday and I would like to have it mounted. Can anyone point me towards a taxidermist (preferably southcentral MN or south metro area) that has rough fish experience? I would like a headstart before I start calling around tomorrow. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADhead Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 get a hold of Josh Knuth. He is the man. He's out of Oshkosh, WI, and has mounted the World Record Golden Redhorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muc33 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Check out one of our newest sponsors, Almberg Taxidermy in Worthington. He has some GINORMOUS alagator Gar he has done and is very very good at them!!! www.almbergtaxidermy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattL Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks for the leads guys! I have sent emails to both taxidermists. I am leaning towards one of the two versus a local guy because I like the previous experience with rough fish that they both show on their sites.I will let you know who I end up with.

2hounds Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Corcoran Taxidermy in Hampton Minnesota..You should get a hold of him. Awesome work. Award winning and one of the Masters in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Freom the work I have seen done by Brian Almberg, he would certainly be a great pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
