The Heavyweight of the Shallows

The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) is recognized by its broad, blunt snout and heavy-set build. Found dominating marine environments and coastal rivers, pulling one of these massive specimens from the water is a serious test of tackle and endurance. Florida Fish Mounts, based in Cocoa, Florida, is the shop of artist Greg Cassell. We specialize in custom-painted fiberglass bull shark mount replicas that preserve the specific shark you fought, at the exact size you landed it, as a permanent piece of coastal décor.

Fiberglass Construction and Automotive-Grade Finish

Greg Cassell works exclusively from a catalog of thousands of first-generation molds cast directly from real shark specimens. This ensures the anatomical detail, particularly the characteristic serrated teeth and wide-set eyes, is never diluted by the industry practice of copying a copy. Greg treats each mount as a species-specific project, applying high-grade automotive pigments that carry a depth and light-response standard taxidermy paints lack. Bull sharks are instantly identifiable by their stocky, grey-and-white coloration. Whether you require a full two-sided wall mount or a 360° suspension replica, Greg hand-paints the subtle transitions from the grey dorsal tones to the clean white belly to match your catch perfectly.

The Modern Solution: Catch, Release, and Mount the Memory

A fiberglass bull shark mount replica allows you to secure your trophy while safely releasing the shark back to the water. No fish is required to create your mount. Traditional skin mounts are a poor choice for sharks because their cartilaginous structure and abrasive dermal denticles shrink and distort severely as they dry. Greg's fiberglass process eliminates this degradation entirely. Each piece is finished with a UV-resistant urethane clear coat, resulting in a durable, archival piece suitable for display in a marina, restaurant, man cave, or office space.

Custom Pattern Matching from Your Catch Photo

Greg offers custom pattern matching at no additional cost, and a catch photo is not required to place your order. Without one, Greg paints your replica to a traditional, species-accurate color phase for the bull shark. If you have a photo of your catch, use the upload button located directly below this description before or after placing your order. Greg will use it as the direct reference to reproduce precise coloration, scars, and specific fin conditions.

The Final Approval Process

Your satisfaction is our priority. With an estimated turnaround time of 9 to 12 weeks, we will email you high-resolution photos for your review once Greg completes the hand-painting. We do not apply the final protective clear coat or begin the crating process until you have seen the photos and given your explicit approval of the paintwork. Your mount is not finished until you say it is.

Shipping and Final Invoicing

Shipping is calculated and billed separately from your initial order. Because shark mounts vary significantly in size and weight, we do not provide a flat shipping rate at checkout. Once your approved mount is packaged and final dimensions are confirmed, we send a separate invoice for the shipping balance. Your replica ships nationwide via UPS or freight immediately upon payment.

Select Your Mount Style and Length

Use the dropdown menus above to select your Mount Type and Length. The bull shark is available in sizes ranging from 26 to 124 inches. Pricing is based on the mount style and length you select, starting at $17 per inch for a full wall mount and $20 per inch for a 360° suspension mount. For a 26-inch bull shark full mount, pricing begins at $442. Your final price updates automatically once your selections are made. Proceed through checkout to secure your place in Greg's shop schedule.

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.

Do I need to keep the fish to get a mount made?

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.
