Eeled this 56lb hoss up few days before Christmas CBBt!

Got some paperwork and dropped off at the taxi to get it on the wall!

Congrats!!!! hoping to break the 50 plus mark myself some day

Thanks man!

The bite seems to be on fire around the MD/VA line Tangier area. Not sure how far that is for you- too far for me!

Wow! That is awesome!

Wow

sorry i missed this post in december!
nice fish!

Finally got the skin mount back on this fish about a month ago! The guy took his time and did beautiful work!
Piedmont Taxidermy in Sandston (Richmond) VA.

Wife even let me hang it in the living room! ...for now

Wow, outstanding job they did. I always said, if I get a 50+" & 50+ lb I want to get it mounted, I've hit the 52lb but it was only 48". My wife is praying I either catch a long skinny fish or fat short fish :roll: . Anyway, sweet looking.

Beautiful mount !!!

Sweet!! That is definitely a slob. Looks to be an outstanding job, and look good on the wall!

Beautiful fish!
Congratulations. 8)

Thanks guys!

It was hard to find someone willing to let me have the meat when doing a skin mount. I was adamant that I wanted a skin mount and DID NOT want to waste the meat. Finally found a guy who was willing to skin it on delivery and I got the meat. Guy's shop ended up being about 2 miles from my house and he gave me a call 3-4 times throughout the 8month process to come see the various stages of his work. Was really cool! Highly recommend him in the VA area.
