I know they usually charge by the inch. I heard of a guy this summer who wanted to mount a king & the cost was $25.00 per inch. The fish was over 40 inches so you're looking at more than a thousand bucks. Do you guys know any of these taxidermists price ranges? Some may think the more you pay the better quality, but that isn't always the case. I've seen some awesome mounts in the $12-$15 per inch range. I like the ones mounted on a piece of drift wood. They look better than just hanging on the wall.
