The Golden Prize of the North

The Walleye (Sander vitreus) is the undisputed heavyweight of North America's gravel reefs and northern river systems. Known to veteran anglers as the "Marble-eye" for its light-reflecting vision, this species is a test of depth-finding and finesse. Whether you pulled a giant from a windswept Great Lakes reef or landed a 39-inch trophy on a remote Canadian fly-in, a catch of this magnitude deserves a permanent place on the wall. Florida Fish Mounts, based in Cocoa, Florida, is the shop of artist Greg Cassell. We specialize in custom-painted fiberglass Walleye replicas that turn your northern catch into premium lodge décor.

The Modern Solution: Eat Your Catch and Mount It Too

The greatest advantage of a fiberglass replica is that it allows you to enjoy the prize twice: once at the dinner table and forever on your wall. Walleye are world-renowned for their clean, white, and flaky fillets. With a fiberglass mount, you can keep your catch for the frying pan without sacrificing the trophy. Furthermore, traditional skin mounts are a poor choice for Walleye. Because they have a unique skin chemistry and fine scales, traditional taxidermy often suffers from severe shrinkage around the head and grease bleed over time. Greg solves this by utilizing professional-grade fiberglass blanks. This ensures your trophy remains an archival piece of art that never degrades or loses its anatomical sharp edges.

Anatomical Accuracy: The Glass Eye and Brass Flecks

A true Walleye is distinguished by its torpedo-shaped body, dark olive to yellowish-gold coloration, and the defining white tip on the lower lobe of the tail. Greg treats every mount as a specific biological project, meticulously hand-paints the brassy flecks on the sides, and captures the translucent fin details that distinguish a trophy specimen. Because Walleye coloration changes based on water clarity, ranging from deep "river bronze" to a bright "Great Lakes gold," Greg matches the specific hue of your home waters. We offer these custom builds in a massive range of sizes from 18 to 39 inches.

Custom Pattern Matching (Optional)

While Greg offers custom pattern matching at no additional cost, a photo is not a requirement for your build. If you do not have a photo of your fish, Greg will hand-paint your replica to a traditional, vibrant color phase of a trophy Walleye. If you do have a photo you would like him to use as a roadmap to match your specific catch, simply upload it from here.

The Final Approval Process

Your satisfaction is our priority. Once Greg completes the hand-painting of your replica, we will email you high-resolution photos for your final review. We do not apply the protective clear coat or begin the crating process until you have reviewed the photos and provided your explicit approval of the paintwork. This ensures the colors and patterns meet your expectations before the mount is finalized.

Shipping & Final Invoicing

Please note that shipping is calculated and billed separately from your initial order. Because each fish mount varies in size and weight, especially with trophy units reaching up to 39 inches, we do not provide a flat-rate shipping cost at checkout. Once your approved mount is professionally packaged in a custom-built crate, we determine the final shipping dimensions. At that time, we will send a separate invoice for the shipping balance. Your replica will ship via UPS Ground immediately upon payment of the shipping invoice.

Select Your Mount Style

To begin your custom build, use the dropdown menus above to select your Mount Type and specific Length. We offer this model in lengths ranging from 18 to 39 inches. Prices are based on mount style and length, starting from our $160 shop minimum. Once you select your specific options, the final price will update automatically. 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.
