Welcome to King Sailfish Mounts.

At King Sailfish, we are very pleased to introduce a unique process for the mounting of gamefish. Often referred to as a "Release Mount", your trophy can be hand-crafted according to the size and coloration of your once-in-a-lifetime catch--to keep that memory alive for years to come!

Release Mounts offer an attractive alternative to traditional skin mounts. Exploding with vibrance, each mount is lightweight and easy to install. Available in a wide range of sizes and striking action poses, savvy anglers choose to let their fish go unharmed, and still commemorate their catch with a Release Mount.



King Sailfish also offers a full line of tournament trophies. Available in a variety of sizes, our handsome awards are based on miniature versions of trophy gamefish. Each piece is individually hand-crafted and painted by hand. Mounted on a beautiful mahogany base, and adorned with your tournament logo, a sportsman’s most memorable offshore achievements can be attractively displayed as a centerpiece in one’s home or office.

Over the years decorating your home, office, restaurant, poolside wall or den with a beautiful fish replica mount has become the ultimate in creating a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Fish taxidermy has come a long way from the days when your fish reproduction mount would flake away and/or fade within a few years of hanging it on your wall.
Today’s eco friendly (or green as they say) fiberglass fish mounts give us the best of both worlds. You have a beautiful, durable and lightweight fish trophy to proudly display, and the ability to say “I returned him to the sea to fight another day.”

With a release mount from King Sail Fish Mounts you will be doing your part in assuring that for years to come, our children and children’s children will have the opportunity to feel the excitement of catching a trophy fish of their own.It's just a key stroke or phone call away. Personalize your catch with a custom engraved plaque. Order yours today and you will soon enjoy the pleasure of owning a King Sailfish Mount.http://kingsailfishmounts.com/

King Sailfish Mounts and Stu Apte to Assist in Tarpon Tagging Program..

The Bonefish and Tarpon Research Conservation organization of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will be inserting tarpon satellite tags this season in Whitewater Bay, Everglades National Park. With the help of world recognized angler Stu Apte, and King Sailfish's Raymond Douglas, pop-up tags will be placed in a limited number of qualified tarpon in order to gain scientific knowledge regarding fishery dynamics, stock spatial distribution, spawning migrations and movements between fishing areas.

Pop-up Archival Transmitter (PAT) tags record information over a period of time and are then scheduled to pop-off, allowing researchers to recover the tag and record the data gathered. The resulting information can then be used by scientists and lawmakers to study and help protect this valuable marine resource.

The first tag was successfully inserted on March 13 by Mike Larkin and Raymond Douglas. The fish's size and geographical location was recorded prior to a successful release. For more information on how you can become involved, visit http://www.bonefishresearch.com/tarpon.htm
King Sailfish Mounts proudly offers an array of mounted fish, producing both freshwater and saltwater fish mounts. Also called release mounts, KSM's fiberglass fish replicas provide sportsmen with the absolute highest level of quality and value, and symbolize an age of environmental awareness. Our artists capture the rich beauty.....(for more, click on "About Us". )
