NCSenko Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 What is everyone's opinion on what constitutes a trophy crappie worth having a mount made? Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 A lot of this depends on how much you like mounts. Pictures are fine for me, so it would take a 3 pounder to make me think about dropping $200 on a mount. That said, I've seen beatiful mounts of 2 pounders. Quote
skillet Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I'm with DMB on this one. Quite a chunk of change, and not because it's a Crappie ... As Ever, skillet Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 21, 2008 Super User Posted January 21, 2008 For me, any fish I would mount would have to be something special for the species and I would still probably opt for a replica. For a crappie I would think 4lbs at the least. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Super User Posted January 22, 2008 I agree with roadwarrior; for a crappie, it would have to go a solid 3 and it would be released! I'd just take a few measurements and photos and have a replica made. My son had a replica of a 29" salmon he caught with me while shad fishing on the CT River back in the late 80's. All we had was about 6 photos. The guy did a marvelous job. Much better than a skin mount. A "win-win" situation! Quote
NCSenko Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 I want to thank everyone for their input. My fish was only about 2 pounds. If I do decide to have a mount made it will have to be a replica mount because I don't have the fish any more. But it was delicious. Quote
