We can create a replica of your fish using your photos as reference and your dimensions of length and height. We take special care not to diminish any special coloring or markings of your unique fish. See our custom replica submission form here.
How long it takes depends on a number of factors. The time Is determined by our workload, the type of fish, size and if you want it displayed in a scene. Once you decide to place your order with us we will give an approximate time which can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks.
First, choose the best photo(s) of your fish. Photos with the fish laying flat with the picture taken with sun to your back being the best. Send your chosen images through our website along with the length and height measurements. We can then begin corresponding about the specific details of your order including an approximate price quote and timeframe for completion. See our custom replica submission form here.
The short answer is no. We’ve developed a new way to replicate the colors of fish just as if they were pulled from the water. All images are recreated by hand from the provided photo with hyper-realistic colors and special techniques to bring the fish to life. We then infuse the image into the surface of the metal permanently in a special process.
Yes! We have done backgrounds with driftwood or river rocks and can add in other details such as minnows. If you have something special in mind our artists can help create something unique. For an extra 3-dimensional effect, we can create one of our layered replicas. (fish mounted separately on top of the driftwood or background)
No. Everything you see on our website is created out of metal, even the driftwood!
Our wall art comes with an attached, sturdy, round mounting ring with “zig-zag” teeth for a non-slip, secure hold for your nail or screw. It also has special metal tabs that bend out to keep your replica mounted 1/2” from the wall. This helps add to the 3-dimensional appearance.
Yes! Many people request a replica with several fish caught on the same fishing trip which do not have to be the same species. We can help you decide on a layout and size up the background to make the fish scene “reel”istic.
We are constantly adding new fish species to our general website. If you have a fish in mind that we currently don’t have listed on our website, we would be happy to create a custom order with your reference photos, for an extra cost. See our custom replica submission form here.
There are several factors that determine the final cost of your replica. These factors include the size, type, quality of photos submitted and if you want a single or multiple layers (background one layer, fish second layer).
To get an accurate price we recommend submitting photos and dimensions through our custom replica submission form here.
Example of pricing: 14-inch crappie approximately $125 and with an added background $195
Our custom replicas are high quality and built to last a lifetime, however, exposing them to harsh conditions such constant, direct sunlight or ice and snow from winter conditions will inevitably diminish the quality. If you choose to enjoy your replica outside, it would be best to display it in a mostly, shaded area. We wouldn’t recommend leaving it outside during the winter months.
Once your order has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this number on the carrier’s website to track your order.
We ship via USPS and UPS to ensure reliable delivery. Shipping times and costs vary based on your location and the chosen shipping method.
If you receive your replica and you are not 100% satisfied, you may return it within 30 days for a full refund.
