Largemouth Bass Trophy 12.8Lb, Value?
| 
Author:
Hey folks. A customer of ours donated this bass to our fishing lodge when he caught it in 1982. We paid top dollar for this life like mount and it is totally air tight and has been indoors for the whole time. Thats why its still in perfect condition.
12 pounds 8 ounces on nice drift wood, gravel bed, lillys, weeds, and soft plastic minnows fleeing from the bass. Since the bass can be viewed from all angles, even the back is painted and it has both eyes.
I have the picture of the angler who caught the bass, the month day, year and which bait it was caught on. Which I would imagine would hike the value up, because it shows that this bass mount hasnt been stretched, it is actual size.

Real nice mount, excellent work with a good seating.
As a bass fisherman myself it has no value at all because I did not catch it.
Only way I know for you to be able to put a value on it, is to get in contact with someone who does that work and show it to them and have them evaluate it for you.
Still a very excellent mounting, I just did not catch it, and when I did catch them that big could not afford to have them done or even a replication done.
Good Luck
I dont think there is a set value on any fish mounts it is just what someone would pay you to own the mount.I use ebay to sell and buy for ppl and have seen bass mounts go for $20 to $50 and then a few go for over $125 but that is not saying you could not get more for yours.
I do know for sure certain places buy mounts to hang in there buisness and they will pay a good some of money to have the best display as possible.
contact cabelas or bass pro the buy stuff like that
Donate it to bass pro shop, mounts don’t usually bring untold fortunes to the sellers, at least not fish mounts
Wow that is a quality mount you’ve got there, that i think could fetch up to $200 if put it on e bay, however my advice you would be to either keep it, or sell it on an antique fishing auction (even though its not an antique) as this should raise the amount you make on it than if it was e bay, personally i would keep it.
