Skin Mounts
Mike no longer regularly practices skin mounting of fish. Modern reproductions with custom casted replicas and hand painted scales have simply made skin mounts a thing of the past. You no longer need to worry about having someone professionally skin your fish. With a couple quick measurements and a good picture, you can expect a perfect reproduction every time. Below are some of the skin mounts Mike has done in the past attesting to his longevity, experience and evolution within the industry.

Scott Dolan had this trophy 16 Lb. Large Mouth Bass mounted years
ago. Time had faded the color and all the fins were destroyed including the tail. Mike replaced the fins with a reproduction fin
set and repainted the fish for Scott. Mike saved this trophy fish for
Scott, a dear friend in Skamania County Washington, in 2009.
Mike West will always go to the extreme.
