Stuff Fish

[Newboy]

Where can I get one, say bass or something.

 

PS, what is the proper name?

Taidermist is what you want, but I'd prefer to llook at a photo, and leave them swimming Kam.

You may find something on Google or ebay Kam

 

To late to worry about conservation after they are mounted Rich,

 

But I would also rather display a photo of a fine fish prior to its safe return than some tatty boxed corpse with glass eyes.

Bass is too tasty to stuff , I'm looking for one that's already stuffed as a present for a friend who like bass.

That reminds me of the lady who had a pair of pet monkeys that died. She'd loved them so much that she decided to take them to a taxidermist, so she could have them stuffed and keep their memory alive. After she left the shop the taxidermist suddenly realised he'd forgotten to ask whether she wanted them in a glass case or on a plinth. He telephoned her, and said, "I forgot to ask - did you want them mounted?" "Oh, no!", said the woman, "just holding hands will be fine..."!

 

Sorry....

One can buy stuffed fish at many auction houses, there was a time when they were very collectable but now the price seems to be coming down. Unfortunately, the majority of stuffed fish seem to be freshwater varieties, I think I've only seen one sea variety. Whether this is because of technical problems or because people eat their trophies before getting them to the taxidermist, I don't know. See if you can get a large perch and paint it!

You could always go around some of the "fishermen" pubs around the coast and check them out!

 

Well it is a good excuse for drink or six!

There is a taxidermist is Salisbury, who'll stuff anything your have or get it for you, i used him a couple of years ago to stuff some rats for me (for training) he was very good, found the correct breed of rat and did a superb stuffing job. They're still in perfect condition having been handled by a couple of thousand students!!!.

 

Unfortunately i don't have his number, but he was in the yellow pages.

watching an old Jackass programme on MTV the other week, and Jonny Knoxville took an old lady into a taxerdermist in america, he said she didnt have long, and asked if they would stuff her...........the taxerdermist was actually up for discussing a price was funny though
