Nice job Dave!, I've been to your shop when you were in Ventura Im Marc I was Fins, Feathers and Furs Taxidermy in Chatsworth and was a friend of Greg's Taxidermy in Newbury Park sometime around 1988 1989 around there
Sorry for such a late reply. Are you still doing taxidermy work? Haven't spoken to Gregg in years. I have been teaching school for 30 years and plan to retire after one more year. At that point, I will be back into taxidermy almost full time again.
In most cases, reproductions are more expensive due to the high cost of manufacturing the fish blank. The fish blanks I use run an average of $11.00 per inch, plus shipping cost. That's just to get started. A few taxidermists manufacture their own fish blanks and keep their cost down by a few dollers per inch.

Fantastic work.
What kind of brush are you using to do the halos?
Just caught a brown yesterday. How can I have this done off of pictures?
All the taxidermist needs is the length, and weight of your fish. We can get an approximate by looking at a photo if you have no measurements.
Is a reproduction mount cheaper? How much per inch charge?
