How close does the mount match the fish in the picture you sent them? This is my only concern of replicas, is that they don't get the uniqueness of each fish just right.
Congrats again!

It’s a very good match. My picture of the fish did not turn out well but I have caught several others in the same spot over the years and the fish are the same basic colour so I gave them a pic of another about 2” shorter that had good detail in the pic and used it as the base to mimic. The paint on this is really something. Just like a real fish the colours change based on light and angle. It’s really something to watch it go from dark blue/grey to silver as the light in the house changes throughout the day. The people at Advanced are true artists.
This was evening as the sun was no longer coming in the living room windows and no lights on. Turned the flash off on the iPhone camera so as not to make the silver gleam.
