Blackfish mount

[Togman316]

So I decided to pull the trigger and get my first dd tog mounted. The fish went 27" and weighed 12lbs. Fish came out great!

pretty cool, if and when i get a mount i'd like it to be of a less common mounted fish like this, how many blackfish mounts do you see? not many. very sweet man.

Ty everyone. I hope to catch a bigger one but ill always remember the first dd!

super nice mind asking what it cost to do, i saw a few guys at the show but was almost $20 an inch

[Togman316]

I paid 20 per inch

Looks great, who did the work?

[Chris1129]

I paid $20.00 an inch as well at a Taxidermist in Neptune. Haven't gotten it back yet.

It was a guy from Louisiana. His name is hank. This was his first time ever seeing a tautog.

waiting on a 20 pounder before I pull the trigger. Have it all planned out in my head how it is going to go down. Fish lives, I catch a Tog of a lifetime and everyone is happy. All I need is to get the right bite, not get rocked and have tackle hold up. Both skill and luck have to be on your side for all those things to come together. The hunt continues April 1st.

Let's hope for a good spring bite

Loks great.
Next big tog/fluke I get I'm going to take pics/measure and have this dude make my mount. Guy does some amazing work.

Where is that guy located? I also want to get my 30" inch fluke done. Maybe I'll wait for next year's tax return haha!

[Boston Pete]

He's in New Hampshire, looks like he charges $20 to $25 per inch...not much difference then a skin mount.

[Togman316]

Very nice

No Need to wait till next year. Just send the bill to Boston pete and he will take care of it. :D

[Togman316]

Haha I wish.

[Boston Pete]

Alex!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: Don't I wish I had it like that.

I am an ass, I should have had that guy do my 18 lb blackfish or the 12 lb fluke that won the Elks.....shameless plug..:o
But really i wish I would have done it, I'm sure I'll never repeat either.
