LEECH21 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just ordered my largemouth bass mount from Artistic Anglers out of Duluth. They had a special at the Sportsman show in Minneapolis. Two dollars off an inch! What a deal! They do top notch work and had quite a few mounts on display. Simply incredible!Just wanted to add that my bass was caught two years ago and was safely CPR'd. It is the pic in my avatar. 22 inches and around 7 pounds. I can't wait now to see the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Leech...If you can, post a pic when you get it, I'd love to see how it turned out. What was the final cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklimek Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The bass in my avatar was 23 inches and is still swimming. I went through a tail for tales. I'm extremely satisfied with his work. The pic is not the best but gives you an idea of the finished product. I looked around and its tough to find a good taxidermist out there that does quality replicas.

Matt Johnson Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Artistic Angler does an incredible job. All of our mounts at Thorne Bros are done my Matt at Artistic Angler and his work is simply amazing. All of my replicas/trophies will be Artistic Angler from here on out, no questions asked.

LEECH21 Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Quote:His normal pricing was $12.95/inch; driftwood was $25 extra. Show special was 15% off. I got the deal at the 2007 Sportshow. Normal price was correct at 12.95 an inch. I got mine for 10.95 an inch. What a heck of a deal! Drifwood was an extra 25 bucks. All said and done my 22 inch bass was around $260. I as well have done a lot of shopping around looking for the perfect replica company and hands down Artistic Anglers does incredible work. Turn around is about 8 months. I guess that doesn't matter too much since I already have waited two years to get this far! I'll be sure to post pics of the finished product when I get it.
