Well, I went on a chartered fishing trip for 3 days and 2 nights. I got extremely lucky and bagged this great wahoo. I caught him on a 30 lb test monofilament flat line. That is right, no steel leader!!! Probably about a 1 in 500 chance of landing him without the steel leader. He did manage to burn up the real, the drag was toast after I got him to the boat. You can see the circle hook still in it's mouth. Just to think we spent about $100 on trolling lures and I catch this guy on a $0.10 circle hook and a $0.10 sardine. Who would have thunk it!

I didn't even think about taking measurements to have a replica made; however, my finace suggested I get one done for the office.

So does anyone have a reference on a saltwater replica business? The fish was estimated at 60-70 lbs and I extrapolated the size of the fish by taking the length of my glasses and then determined the approximate size of the fish. Length was about 53" and a tad over 8" from belly to dorsal fin (not counting the curve of the fish of course).

Thanks,

Just what to mention that the quality of your fish pictures are excelent as to detail and colour.... Awesome pics of this large fish.

AVOID GRAYS TAXIDERMY!!!!!!

but i haven't heard anything bad about king sailfish mounts. and there was another company that i looked at that had good feedback. try a search for replica fish or taxidermy fish.

after a year and several calls, letters and getting the attorney General involved, i finally got my striped marlin. it's a great mount, but Grays is as crooked as, well, something really crooked!

Another No Grays vote from me as well. Nothing but grief for my dealing with them.
