The Speed Demon of the Pelagic Ocean
Clocking speeds over 50 miles per hour, the Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) is one of the fastest and most thrilling offshore gamefish in the ocean. Known as Ono in Hawaiian waters, this pelagic predator is famous among high-speed trolling fleets for its blisteringly fast runs, razor-sharp teeth, and striking vertical zebra stripes. Florida Fish Mounts builds custom wahoo wall mount replicas to preserve the thrill of your offshore catch. Each wahoo mount replica is individually hand-crafted in our workshop to turn your bluewater success into a permanent piece of premium lodge décor.
Anatomical Accuracy: First-Generation Molds
Every Wahoo replica is cast from a first-generation mold taken directly from an actual specimen. This guarantees that the long, streamlined body shape, sharp dorsal fins, and precise scale definition are anatomically correct. Artist Greg Cassell avoids generic retail blanks, utilizing hand-sculpted mouth structures to display the species' iconic jawline and teeth, along with hand-painted glass eyes set into the mold using high-strength sculpting epoxy for a lifelike finish.
Vivid Barring vs. Skin Mount Degradation
As members of the Scombridae family, wahoo possess highly oily flesh beneath their skin. Traditional organic skin mounts of oily pelagic species fail rapidly because trapped oils continuously bleed through the paint, causing severe yellowing, skin shrinkage, and cracking over time. Beyond structural failure, a live wahoo's iridescent cobalt blue bars fade to a dull grey almost immediately after harvest. Choosing a fiberglass wahoo mount completely eliminates organic decay, allowing Greg Cassell to capture the bright, lit-up vertical barring you witnessed boatside and lock it permanently beneath a UV-resistant urethane clear coat.
Have Your Mount and Eat It Too
Wahoo are prized worldwide for their firm, delicious white fillets. Choosing a custom fiberglass replica means you never have to choose between a trophy on your wall and world-class steaks on the grill. There is no fish required in our shop. Simply take a few clean, well-lit photographs of your fish right after bringing it over the rail, then pack your catch on ice for dinner.
Custom Pattern Matching and the Approval Process
We include custom photo-matching with your order at no additional cost. You can upload your catch photo using the button below before or after placing your order. Greg will study your image to match specific tiger-stripe patterns, lateral highlights, or unique fin conditions. If you do not have a photo, Greg will paint your replica to match a classic, highly vibrant ocean-phase wahoo. Once the painting phase is complete, we email you high-resolution photos of the raw paintwork. We do not apply the protective urethane clear coat or crate your order until you have reviewed the photos and given your explicit approval.
Shipping and Final Invoicing
Shipping costs are calculated and billed separately once your mount is fully completed and crated. Because large pelagic replicas vary significantly in length and weight, flat-rate shipping is not applied at checkout. Once your approved mount is secured inside a custom-built wooden shipping crate, we send a separate invoice for the actual UPS Ground shipping balance. Your replica ships immediately upon payment of that invoice. You can check our current shop turnaround schedule at any time by clicking the production time link located in our website footer.
