Though I'm sure his work is impeccable, I would never pay for a replica mount, by principle. It's just not the fish.
I've even been fooled before by good replica work, but it's still just a pretty sculpture, representative of a fish, as close as they can get it.
That's just me. I understand that people are fine with it and have their own reasons to support it. Totally fine.
I'm weird. Then again, I've never gotten anything mounted. I'm sure there are aspects to it that I don't understand. I would want it to be the actual skin of my fish, and the actual size/shape.
Gotta be a 5lb male brookie or maybe a 10lb male tiger for that though.
Maybe a record grayling...
