Steve's Taxidermy and Tannery in Ottoville Ohio.
Does my stuff. Pretty nice work.
It is how he makes his living 100% for many years. Lots of awards, credentials, and has mounted just about everything there is to mount. He has his own tannery. Most ship all hides, and skins off to a tannery. One picky fellow.

Steve skinned that fish out while I watched, and I took all the meat home with me. I was so neat to watch him do it.

I can't remember for sure. It was either $11.00 or $13.00 per inch but I think it was $11.00. The one in the pic was 32.25 inches. This was last Summer when I paid him. Fish was caught in Jan of 2015.

Another option near the lake is Artistic Touch in Oregon, Ohio. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artis...22322947824149). Although I've never had a fish done by them, I had each of my two Son's first ducks (a green wing and a woodie) done by them and the results were very nice.
