Location: MN | Just got back from Minaki in Ontario and my 18 year old son caught a 45" muskie and we got pictures. This was his B-Day trip! It broke his heart to have to let it go because of the 50 " size limit in that area. Any suggestions for a reproduction type mount from the pictuer and length. And what to look for in their ability??? We live in west central MN but that may not be a limitation to choosing a good & known service. Thanks, kt |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Graphite/fiberglass is the way to go. I have several fish mounted other than muskies, the muskies that I mounted are repoductions and were released to be caught by someone else. The repos look better than the fish I killed and mounted. I see no reason to kill a fish when there is such a good option. Ron Lax is one of the best, he is in Conover, Wisconsin.
A couple pictures and some measurments is all it takes to get your trophy sent to your house. I love my graphites, they will always look the same as the day I got them. Keep them out of the sun, wipe them down from time to time and they will last a lifetime. |

| I have a Fittante and I was blown away by the quality and realism. Joe does an excellent job and I will use him again should I be lucky enough to catch one worthy of reproducing. You can reach him at:

Location: Algonquin, ILL | I have Graphites done by both Lax and Fittante, Both do really nice work however I give Fittante just a slight edge, his glossy (Wet Look) is just a touch better and delivery is a bit faster than Lax's but I am satisfied with both

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | Here's another vote for Joe. You can't go wrong with either Lax or Fittante, but Fittante's fish always have that just came out of the water look. He does awesome work. |
