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/

About Us - An overview of King Sailfish Mounts, Inc.

Release Fish Mounts and Overview of King Sailfish Mounts, Inc.



King Sailfish Mounts was formed in the early 1990’s by Marine Artist Raymond Douglas, due to concern over populations of Atlantic sailfish in Florida offshore waters.
For decades, sailfish had been customarily brought back to the dock for photographs and mounting. As a result, sailfish were becoming increasingly difficult to catch in those days. In the 1960’s, new methods had been perfected for the mounting of gamefish that did not require any actual part of the fish. However, even many years later, the large taxidermy companies were still reluctant to implement those techniques, during which time sailfish continued to be harvested needlessly by the local charter fleet along with other species of marine gamefish.

KSM’s mission was to bring about a change. Organizations such as The Billfish Foundation and The International Game Fish Association helped to create an awareness which was warmly embraced by conservation-minded anglers. Within a short time, the Release Mount concept quickly gained momentum. KSM artists became overwhelmed, producing not only sailfish—but mounts of all species of gamefish from around the world.

Family owned and operated since inception, KSM has grown to be the industry’s leader in Marine Conservation and remains one of the most influential producers of release mounts in the world; continuing to hand craft finely detailed mounts…..by hand…..one-at-a-time, and now offering a wide selection of both fresh and saltwater mounts.

King Sailfish Mounts is a co-sponsor of The Billfish Foundation Tag & Release Program (www.billfish.org). Data generated as a result is used by scientists and lawmakers to propose legislation designed to help manage and conserve billfish and other pelagic species, and also to quantify the importance of recreational fishing to the tourism industry and to local economies.
