The Ultimate Florida Bucketmouth
There is no strike in freshwater angling quite like the explosion of a trophy Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure. Whether you landed a legendary "bucketmouth" in Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee Chain, or a hidden Florida honey hole, that moment deserves a permanent tribute. Florida Fish Mounts, based in Cocoa, Florida, is the shop of artist Greg Cassell, specializing in custom fiberglass Largemouth Bass replicas for anglers who want a museum-quality alternative to traditional taxidermy.
The Artist’s Solution to Fading and Grease
Traditional Largemouth skin mounts often suffer from "grease bleed," where natural oils seep through the skin over time, yellowing the paint and ruining the finish. Greg solves this by casting 100% fiberglass replicas and applying multi-stage, automotive-grade paints in our Cocoa shop. This process captures the deep, muscular girth of a trophy bass and ensures the vibrant greens and dark lateral lines remain permanent. We offer these custom builds in a wide range of sizes, with available lengths from 11 to 31 inches.
Anatomical Accuracy:
The Maxilla and Lateral Line A true Largemouth (Micropterus salmoides) is defined by its massive maw, with a maxilla (upper jaw) that extends well past the eye. Greg ensures strict adherence to this morphology, along with the deep notch between the dorsal fins and the signature jagged horizontal band. Because Florida’s premier bass waters are built on conservation, no fish is required. Greg uses your catch photo as a strict roadmap to replicate the specific color phase and spot density of your individual fish, creating a centerpiece for your home décor.

Greg Cassell: The Art of the Replica

From the Water to Your Wall
We specialize in specific photo-matching to recreate your exact catch. Unlike generic mounts, Greg Cassell uses your photos to replicate unique details. This includes scar placement, fin length, and specific color phases. We use high-quality fiberglass composite blanks cast from first-generation molds of real fish. This ensures anatomical perfection. They are durable, lightweight, and offer superior longevity compared to traditional skin mounts.
Complete the Look: The Coastal Décor Collection
Your trophy deserves an environment that matches its quality. We curate a collection of nautical accents using the same artisan standards as our fish mounts. Our Decorative Anchors and Portholes are crafted from high-density polyurethane resin and feature giclée prints sealed under a crystal-clear resin finish. We also offer distressed wood frames and premium gallery canvases.
We are proud to serve the Space Coast from our private workshop in Cocoa. Every mount is a museum-quality piece of art designed for your décor
