I have a 44 or 45" redfish mount (I forget now). All I did was I take multiple pictures and measurements. I don't know if it is considered a good mount or not but you can tell it is a replica. It is about 5 years old now.

I prefer skin mounts. Most replicas I've seen look like replicas.
Not tryin to split hairs here, but some taxidermists, me included, do not consider a replica to be true taxidermy. Replicas are an art form, like painting and sculpting. There is no "taxidermy" involved. The term "taxidermy" itself loosely translated means "move the skin". There is no skin to be moved in a replica. I prefer the actual skin mount. It is the skin of the fish I actually caught and not a substitute. However, I can also see the merits of having a replica for protected and endangered species. Plus, unless you're a big time baller, you are gonna lay out BIG bucks for an actual skin mount of a bill fish, for instance. And replicas ain't cheap, either!
