Rc, that is a beautiful mount and fish. Did you take a picture of it when it was fresh and have the taxidermist paint it the way it looked or do they just have a standard bluegill "look" that they paint? I spoke with a taxidermist once and he said " oh yea, i can mount those bg. I have the paint colors for it. When i mentioned coppernose, he was lost. Your bg doesn't look like the ones from our area. it is nice looking though.
