Title: Re: Northern Pike finished and shipping
Post by: BLKBEARKLR on May 11, 2009, 06:13:32 AM: I charge 15.00 an inch for skin and 21.00 an inch for replicas, I make a small base depending on the fish, usually driftwood or something similiar. If there is a request for some larger or other type of habitat I charge extra.

Thank you

Post by: BLKBEARKLR on May 14, 2009, 06:40:42 AM: Rasbo,

It is a left turn pose, a lot of people like that pose instead of a straight on mount, with this pose it displays the head, and tail away from the wall. I enclosed a little video found on you tube go to the 18 second mark and stop it, I love that strike position the pike did.
