Burbot for the what?!?!

[pumper317]

Hey everyone,

I caught a eelpout this last weekend that was something to see. Some of the best color I have ever seen on one, as well as a pretty good size one for Winnie, where I caught it. I am pondering getting a replica mount of the fish, and am looking for suggestions for a good place to look. They are goofy creatures, but amazing all in one. Definitely my favorite winter quarry.

Thanks for the help.

If you are looking for the best

Josh Knuth

He does a lot of Non Traditional fish. Amazing mounts that are durable.

Thanks Aaron. I have emailed him back and fort ha little, but then he will not email me back or answer his phone. Not sure if he fell of the planet or not??? I told him to go ahead and start the process and that was the last I heard of him.

He can be a bit tough to get a hold of but does great work.

Pretty Burb!

A couple things:

-Hopefully Josh got back to you, I know he is pretty busy right now. He is the only guy I'd go to, especially with an non-typical species.

-Hopefully there are replica blanks in the size you need. That is one common problem with mounts of atypical fish - blanks of the right species and size. I know Josh has a bunch of blanks that he makes himself but the less common the fish is for mounting the more limited your options are, in regards to exact size.
