I recently caught a giant 30 1/4” inch 9 pound trout and a good friend on the same trip caught one 29” that went 7.7 pounds. Any recommendations for someone in southeast Louisiana to do a replica mount for us? I’m not opposed to get one shipped if that is a viable option.

T-Joe’s in Marksville can do that for you. He did this one for my uncle…

I did some research on 29” 7.75# speck I got and this looked like a pretty legit outfit that is going to be totally custom based on your photos:

I have been fishing my whole life for big trout and never caught anything near that. That's amazing.

What area?

I have some skin mounts from 18-20 years ago and they look terrible now. You are doing this the right way.

I used this company from a friend that goes all over the world fishing for a trout my son caught in Perido a few years ago.
They do really good work. The mount is packed from a recent move, but I'll see if I can find a picture of it
