Thanks

I have plenty of tigerfish and bass to do so far this season, lucky enough to get to do another toothy critter from canada, a 35lb musky and a few 20lbs plus steelhead.

Hi, i caught and released a 5,2kg which is 11,5 lbs, my guide Chris Rippon asked if I wanted to take it and I said no lets release it, can always get a model made, so can you make more, and how much would you charge?

Hi there o just need the measurements lenght and girth , weight and good photo to see the colour of the fish as they all differ in colour.
Dodger the price for a tiger that size is R2200 I do not put fish on driftwood all are on displays like the one I posted on here. I do other displays to like water splashes, glass case work but they differ in price. The photo of the replica I posted is my standerd mount.

So RP,

You're the guy who makes the big record carp and tigerfish the guys pose with eh :-D

Good art work there, looks almost too perfect. Tigers almost always have a couple of scars.

Hi Fanie

Some tigers do have scars on them, depends on if the client wants the scars on the fish lol.

If there are destinct marks on the fish that a client wants I just need a photo to show what it looked like and I can duplicate it.

If The client wants the tail torn up I can do that, the client get what he wants but if it looks crappy afterwards compared to a mount with fins intact its his problem as he pays for it.

The aim is to produce a high quality replica fish that is as close to perfect as I can get it. As I said its up to the client what he wants

rp, nice work mate. I caught an approximately 5kg tiger at kariba in June2010. Fish was released, but i did not take any measurements. Will you be able to make a replica from a photo (attached) which will more or less be representative?

 

[rp]

Hi there just a photo will be enough with a referance point in the photo like the lenght of a finger showing in the photo. Photo's are good as they help with seeing the colour of the fish as tigers have different colours.
