Dear Anglers,
After forty years of building molds of thousands of freshwater and saltwater species, our method allows the conservation-minded angler to measure, photograph and release their trophy catch and still have it reproduced. This technique has earned our family of artists several awards at State, National and World Championship competitions.
Our family builds each fish by hand with you in mind as our most important client. All work is done in the USA and in the great state of Florida. Every fish is signed and numbered, with a certificate of authenticity that will accompany it in its delivery to assure that you receive an original work and not a cookie cutter version made overseas like some companies do these days. Your trophy took years for you to catch and certainly, you deserve to have the absolute best!! The question is, do you feel as we do?
We also take great pride in partnering with you in the preservation of our resource. We promise to make every effort to produce a mount that will bring back the memory of the thrill of your catch! It will be a work of art that you will be proud of for a lifetime. We promise!
As always we are happy to answer any and all questions you might have.
Remember… Catch for the thrill, release for the future, mount for the memory.
Sincerely,
Mike & Deb Kirkhart
MADE IN THE U.S.A.
All of our fish are handcrafted in Stuart, Florida
