Recently got this done just after the Pond Boss Convention. Never done this many fish on a stringer before. It was intimidating to say the least. Spent hours just screwing them to the weathered fence and respacing the stringer clips. What'd think? 
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Outstanding. You've outdone yourself yet again!

Randy, didn't I tell you about my experience in Tee-ball? You know, why I never picked up on baseball?

That talented work of art should win some sort of award. Every die hard crappie fisherman needs one of those mounts. Cecil you might be able to sell some of those made with replcas to a few sportsmen clubs around the country.

Wow Cecil, you do some incredible work. I always enjoy seeing photos of your work. How many hours do you estimate were involved in the project?
I'd sure like to have one of your bluegills in my office. Do you ever make them available for sale?

Notice to forum members:
I find your crude and exploitive humor at my expense, cruel, crass, uncouth, and uncalled for. Only a simpleton would resort to such an ignorant and debasing forum of entertainment.
Man, I love this forum.

It's about the kind of thing that Cabela's sells for high-end decorations, like elk-antler chandeliers. Ironically those kinds of stores usually aren't willing to pay fair prices for taxidermy. They usually put up garage sale and low quality taxidermy items for display because they don't have to pay much for them. I know some taxidermists that get really hot under the collar just talking about it. The only thing that bothers me about it is many of the public when they see low quality taxidermy think most taxidermists just slap things together. It's even worse in the movies. Some of the stuff you see is absolutely horrid especially in the horror movies. When I was on a first date I wouldn't be specific about what I did for a living. Most of the public can't tell good taxidermy from bad taxidermy unless you put them side by side. Sad but true.
