Dolphin Mounts
Dolphin Mounts by New Wave Taxidermy
Dolphin, also known as mahi mahi or dorado, are one of the most sought after fish in the ocean. Not only are they fun to catch but they are incredibly tasty and look fantastic as a wall mount.
Easily discernible from other saltwater fish, dolphin are well known for their dazzling yellow, green and blue coloration. Their coloration fades quickly after death, however, changing to a muted yellow-gray that looks nothing like it did in the ocean.
We create full mounts of both bull dolphin and cow dolphin alike. All of our mounts receive a custom paint job with the primary focus of recreating the fish you actually caught.
New Wave wants to create a fishing trophy that’s unique and reminds you of that particular day on the water and that particular fish you caught. Our primary goal is to create a fish that you will cherish for a lifetime.
At New Wave Taxidermy each and every fish is hand-crafted and custom painted. All fish also come with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
We’ve been creating fiberglass fish replicas for more than 40 years for anglers around the globe. We’ve even picked up a few prestigious awards for our craftsmanship along the way.
