How long is the production wait?

Our standard turnaround for a custom replica is 9 to 12 weeks. This timeline varies based on seasonal demand. For the most accurate real-time estimate, please click the "Current Production" link in our site footer.

How much does a custom fish mount replica cost?

Pricing is based on mount style and length. Half Wall Mounts are $9 per inch, Full Wall Mounts are $15 per inch, and 360° Suspension Mounts are $18 per inch. A 20-inch Full Wall Mount, for example, is $300. Select your mount style and length directly on the product page and the price updates automatically. Shipping is calculated separately after your mount is completed.

How do you ship the replicas?

We ship standard replicas via UPS Ground for reliable, trackable delivery. For our larger trophy mounts, we use custom-built crates and reinforced heavy-duty boxes to ensure your museum-quality art arrives in perfect condition.

Can these be displayed outdoors?

Yes. Greg Cassell uses automotive-grade paints and UV-resistant clear coats. While our fiberglass composites are weather-proof, we recommend display under a covered patio or indoors to preserve the fine-art details for decades.

How do I clean and maintain my fish mount?

Maintenance is simple. Because we use a durable resin finish, you only need a soft, damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can dull the hand-painted translucent details.

What if you do not have a mold for my specific fish?

We have access to thousands of first-generation molds. If you do not see your specific species or size listed, please contact us. We can often source the exact anatomical match for your catch using your provided measurements and photos.

Why choose a fiberglass replica over a traditional skin mount?

Traditional taxidermy skin mounts use organic material that will eventually degrade. Our fiberglass replicas offer archival longevity. They are cast from real fish for anatomical perfection and hand-painted to match your specific catch without the risk of rot or odors.

Preserve the memory of your catch with a lifelike Black Crappie fiberglass fish mount replica, custom painted to match your photo and built from a first generation mold for accurate anatomy and crisp scale definition. Each mount is hand finished by Florida airbrush artist Greg Cassell, whose mottled calico patterning and pearlescent highlights create a trophy quality finish and realistic depth that reads beautifully on display.

HOW IT IS MADE

Each Black Crappie mount begins with a first generation mold taken from an actual freshwater Black Crappie to preserve lifelike proportions, fin structure, and scale relief. The fiberglass form provides crisp anatomical detail and a museum quality base. Greg Cassell airbrushes every mount by hand using layered translucent passes, glazing, and mottled calico patterning to build depth, shimmer, and realistic contrast. The mount is finished with an automotive-grade UV-resistant clear coat for long-term protection.

Frequently asked questions

Florida Fish Mounts specializes in catch-and-release replicas. You do not need to keep your fish. Simply upload a clear photo of your catch — a side profile works best — and Greg Cassell will use it as the reference for your custom paint job. He matches your fish's specific coloration, fin condition, and markings from the photo alone. This is especially important for species like Peacock Bass, where South Florida catch-and-release regulations are strictly enforced, and for offshore billfish where live release is standard practice.
