King Sailfish Mounts And The I.G.F.A.

Lou Marron's All-Tackle World Record Broadbill Swordfish Mount Now at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum

by International Game Fish Association 17. February 2010 13:31

The International Game Fish Association is proud to welcome the arrival of Lou Marron's All-Tackle World Record broadbill swordfish mount to the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum. Recently restored to its original splendor by King Sailfish Mounts (http://www.kingsailfishmounts.com/), this magnificent piece of sportfishing history will soon be on display for all to see at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Dania Beach, Florida.

(To view the photos of the delivery of the mount to IGFA please scroll down)

According to Marron’s world record application, the 1,182-pound fish was landed on May 7, 1953off the coast of Iquique, Chile. The fight lasted almost two hours and the fish measured 179.25 inches in length – which included its broken bill. At the time it was one of the heaviest fish of any kind caught on rod and reel. Along with Alfred C. Glassell's All-Tackle World Record black marlin, this catch is one of the most notable records of all time and the record is unlikely to be defeated.

The original mount of Marron’s fish, made by legendary Miami taxidermist Al Pflueger, included some real fish parts (bill, head, tail and fins) and the body of the mount, which was constructed of plaster, weighed nearly 200 pounds. After creating a new mold (it is believed the original mold is no longer in existence), King Sailfish Mounts produced a lightweight model from composite materials. The original fish parts were carefully restored and re-attached, and the mount was then finished with a special mixture of paints designed to maintain the authenticity of this historic catch.

During restoration the thick layer of plaster that covered the bill was removed for the first time, revealing the past turbulent life of this swordfish. The bill was broken almost in half; what remains has numerous deep gouges along the edges indicating it had been used aggressively. The tip appears to have been broken well before that final epic battle, for a substantial amount of scar tissue had accumulated at the break. These unique scars are visible in the restored mount.

On display at the Miami Beach Rod & Reel Club for more than 50 years, the new home of this magnificent mount is now the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum. Please pay us a visit after March 1, 2010 to see this new addition to the Museum firsthand. Remember, as an IGFA member your admission is free. Not a member? Join today at http://www.igfa.org/.

Kent Ullberg's Sword Dance statue outside the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum provides a fitting landmark for the new home of the All-Tackle swordfish mount.

The All-Tackle swordfish mount almost did not fit through the front doors of the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum.



IGFA plans to place the All-Tackle mount above the IGFA Museum Store with a plaque commemorating the history behind the catch of the magnificent fish.

The Manufacturing Of A Fish mount "Times Have Changed

Times Have Changed ...

Likely the most famous words ever spoken
on a charter boat are, “That is the biggest
fish that we’ve ever seen ....you ought
to have that one mounted!” This phrase
has been repeatedly exclaimed to clients
fishing on charter boats around the world
since the early 1920’s.

Raymond Douglas, President of King SailfishMounts recalls his first experience
with taxidermy: “On my first “Deep Sea”
fishing trip as a child, after several hours of
trolling we finally hooked up and I was put
in the fighting chair. No sooner than I was
handed the rod, the mate soon began yelling
from the tower, “We haven’t seen one
like that for over 10 years....do you want to
mount it”? We were so excited by the level
of enthusiasm that my father and I choose
to mount our catch…only to learn sometime
later that there really wasn’t anything
that special about a 12 pound kingfish.”

Years later after moving to South Florida,
Douglas took a job as lifeguard and each
day on the way to work he would pass by
the local charter fleet. Seeing the carcasses
of sailfish and other gamefish killed only
for mounting purposes inspired Douglas
to look for a better way to help anglers
capture the memory of the exciting catch
without the need to kill these valuable fish.
In those early days, Pflueger Marine
Taxidermy was the largest in the world,
under the direction of the legendary Al
Pflueger, Sr. Pflueger mounted many of the
noteworthy game fish of that era, including
Alfred Glassell, Jr.’s 1,560-pound Black
Marlin and Louis E. Marron’s 1,182-pound
Broadbill Swordfish. Some anglers may
still remember their studio in Miami (pronounced
Miama). Pflueger’s close competitor,
J. T. Reese, Taxidermist was located in
Fort Lauderdale and was known for extreme
quality and perfection, and remained
the only major taxidermist to mount actual
fish skins well into the 1980’s.
Times change and so did the marine taxidermy
industry. Manufacturing processes
were very labor intensive and production
materials were being labeled as hazardous,
which dramatically increased costs. At
the same time, sportsmen were becoming
aware of the importance of marine conservation
and the ever increasing pressure on
fish populations. It was these things that
prompted taxidermists to experiment with
new methods for producing fish mounts
without the need for the actual fish.
It seems that many marine taxidermy
companies claim to have produced the
first fiberglass fish mount. However, the
first company to successfully introduce and
promote the release mount concept was
King Sailfish Mounts of Fort Lauderdale.
KSM’s collection of anatomically perfect
molds made from carefully selected game
fish specimens have proven to satisfy the
demands of the most discriminating world
class sportsman. Combined with the airbrushing
talent of Marine Artist Raymond
Douglas, KSM has been credited with being
the most influential company in the marine
taxidermy industry today.
Should you be lucky enough to hook that
once-in-a-lifetime catch, or your first trophy
fish (even a 12-pound kingfish), you can
release it alive and still commemorate the
event with a release mount. All you need
to do is provide the species and length (or
weight). Photos which can be used during
the final painting are optional. When measuring,
be careful not to put yourself or the
fish at risk for injury. In some cases it may
be best to estimate. Your custom mount
can be delivered to your home or office in
just a few short weeks, and it will surely be
the envy of friends and family alike, while
the fish lives to fight another day.

mount provider of CCA Florida.

Fish Mounts The Industry Leader

King Sailfish Mounts has grown to be an industry leader and has been credited for being the most influential producer of Release Mounts in the Taxidermy Industry.

In the early 1990's, King Sailfish Mounts introduced and promoted the Release Mount Concept for Atlantic Sailfish. The Billfish Foundation (http://www.billfish.org/), The International Game Fish Association (http://www.igfa.org/) and Others assisted KSM in creating an awareness among conservation-minded trophy-seeking anglers. And the Release Mount concept quickly gained momentum as an alternative to traditional sailfish taxidermy. Since that time, sailfish populations have rebounded

No Need To Kill For A Fish Mount

This captain was obviously not "UP" on the latest information. It is no longer necessary for a trophy fish to be taken from the ocean for mounting purposes. There is no longer any need for the actual fish......even the mount's teeth can be created from molds using dental acrylics.

The Marine Taxidermy Industry once relied almost exclusively on freshly caught fish for producing trophy mounts. And the charter fleet boated thousands of gamefish every year. The increasing number of fish being taken out of the water resulted in a situation where sailfish and other prized species were becoming more and more difficult to catch.

However, due to an increased awareness brought about by The Billfish Foundation, The International Game Fish Association, and others, the majority of all trophy game fish are now being released alive for mounting purposes. Release mounts produced from composite materials are now the choice of both novice and master anglers alike. The release mount segment is the fastest growing part of the marine taxidermy industry. And Fort Lauderdale is once again considered by many to be the Sailfishing Capital of the US.

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

What People Are Saying About King Sailfish Mounts

Today I would like to bring you into a forum discussion titled "king sailfish fish mounts".

This is a very popular fishing forum named StripersOnline SurfTalk Forums

king sailfish fish mounts
Do any of you guys have mounts from this place and if so, what do you think? Also, while I know that the actual caught fish isn't involved in these mounts (presumably you either released the fish or ate it), do they work off pictures and actual measurements of the fish you caught or do you just get a 'generic' version of the species in question?

Yes I have used them. They did a 30lb Chinnouk Salmon (sp)for me a couple of years ago. I came out amazing. This fish was caught in NY and as such has a bronze coloration to it. The chinnouks (sp)they usually mount are on the silver side.This presented a challange for them. They put their best painter on it who happens t be the owner. Took alittle longer but I it. I will now use them exclusively. You have to take several good pics from several angles along with length,girth, wt and send them this info. I also point out any distinguishing marks the fish may have......good luck lets see some pics when you get it back. What are you mounting?

Actually, I don't have anything currently. But I'm heading down to FL in July and depending on what I catch, I might want something as a keepsake. Anyway, I've always said that the next nice striper, big blue or albie on the fly, I would have it mounted - but inevitably, I almost always release these fish unless it can't swim away...and even then, I usually find someone to give the fish to. So this might be a nice alternative...as well as buy me some additional time to decide if I'd want a mount without having to kill the fish.Basically I asked the question because I saw an add for them this morning and it piqued my interest. I'm glad to hear your salmon came out the way you liked.

Thanks

Here is a mount of a 140 tarpon from king sailfish - great job, unbelievable - just submitted a pic and estimate of size. let me know if you want more

That's a great piece of work !

thanks, but it was even more fun catching

About Release Mounts

What you should know before you go.....

Sportfishermen constantly dream of that Once-In-A-Lifetime Catch. Often times dreams do come true. If you were to catch the big one.....what would you do? Have ever thought about having a trophy fish mounted? Here is some information that might be helpful to you.

Until recently, actual fish parts were commonly used in the mounting of trophy gamefish. The skin, fins and jaws would typically be salted for transport to the nearest taxidermist, who would then incorporate those parts into what was referred to as a "Skin Mount". The skin, after being de-greased, would be reformed into its original shape by stuffing the inside with paper, burlap or some other material. One common misconception was that the skin could be restored to it's original color. Rather, an artist would paint directly over the dried skin to give the mount its colorful appearance.


Skin mounts were gradually phased out during the 1970's and 80's and replaced with Composite mounts, produced from molds. This is now the only type of mount generally offered by the Marine Taxidermy Industry. Composite mounts, also called Release Mounts, offer many advantages. Among those include anatomical perfection, reduced cost and fast production time. Release Mounts have proven to be a far superior product. However, the biggest advantage is the angler's ability to release his or her trophy fish alive, yet still have it "mounted".
Release Mounts are available from a variety of producers. Specific information about each can be found online



To order a mount of your trophy fish, you will need to provide information including the species and size. Size can be quantified by length and/or weight. Your captain can assist in determining this information. A photograph, which is optional, can be helpful during the final painting. This allows the artist to reproduce the specific colors and markings of your fish. Or, you can simply advise the geographic location of where the fish was caught.

Release Mounts are lightweight, easy to install and can last for a lifetime.
Good fishing, and please do your part to conserve our marine resources. By doing so, we all will have a better chance to catch more fish.

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.

Another Happy Client For King Sailfish Mounts

Dear Folks:

I received my Largemouth Bass mount by Fed Ex shipping yesterday evening.
Opened it this morning. OUTSTANDING MOUNT.
Must admit that your mount looks better than the original fish.
When I caught the bass it had just came off the beds; it was long, but skinny and scrawny as a rail.
Your mount has filled him out and he is a trophy anyone would be proud to have handing on their wall.
Beautiful Job.

Thanks,
George Sawyer, Jr.

The Making of a Release Fish Mount

Release Mounts- A Good Impression

Everyone dreams of catching that once-in-a-lifetime fish--perhaps a world record blue marlin, 100-pound tarpon or even a first sailfish. Often times, it takes a lot of preparation: rigging the proper baits, choosing the best equipment and knowing how to be in the right place at the right time. But very few anglers prepare in advance for having their trophy fish mounted.

Unlike in the past, when one would take their fish to a taxidermist to have it stuffed, mounts are now produced without using any part of the original fish. This kind of mount is known as a "release mount". So, you can now watch your fish swim off, and still get a mount to represent your actual catch. Here's what you need to know about release mounts, and how to be prepared when you catch your trophy fish.

Release mounts are constructed using molds. For selection of the most appropriate mold, you will need to provide specific information such as the length or weight of your fish. If you don't have a tape measure on board, carefully lay the fish flat on the gunnel or deck and mark the distance from the tip of the mouth (or bill in the case of a billfish) to the tip of the tail before returning it safely to the water. Molds are selected by the overall, or total length. The mold selection can also be made, based on the actual weight of the fish.

Coloration is based on the ability of the artist to capture the natural and vivid colors of the particular species, using a generous combination of shimmers, pearls and transparent lacquers. Many marine artists maintain and refer to an extensive collection of reference photos, which are often categorized not only by species but also by geographical location. Since, for example, tarpon caught oceanside in the Keys can differ greatly from those caught in Flamingo, it is important to report where your fish was caught. Many artists will accept a photo of your fish, to match not only the coloration, but also the markings, such as the spots on a redfish.

Release mounts are made to last indefinitely. Unlike the old method of producing skin mounts, release mounts will not turn yellow, attract insects, or develop foul odors. They come with a built-in balanced mounting device, and are as easy to hang as a picture. Should you decide to locate your mount outside in direct sunlight, it would be best to request a special outdoor clear coating, to protect the paint against the sun's ultraviolet rays. Sportfishing anglers especially are happy to learn that it usually takes only a few weeks to have one made, as opposed to skin mounts, which use to take almost a year to produce. And, most importantly, you can always remember the thrill of watching your trophy fish swim away unharmed.

Hi Doug,

My wife and I finally extricated the mount form its enclosure with utmost care, and no damage was done. It now occupies a place of honor above my fireplace, and I have to admit tht I smile every single time I look at it. Can't wait until April when I'll be back down at Baja's East Cape chasing these guys again!Thought you might enjoy a picture of your excellent work in it's appropriate setting - the home of a delighted owner.

Regards,Norm

In Responce To Your Most Frequently Asked Questions

Due to an overwelming amount of e mail concerning our fish mounts and what we need to produce the ultimate representation of an angler's most notable achievement.

Here are our most Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

Q: How long will it take to produce my mount?

A: Normal lead time is around 4 to 6 weeks. Your order usually can be expedited in a shorter period of time-for example, for a specific date such as a birthday-for an additional fee.

Q: How do I mount my fish on the wall?

A: All fish come with built-in balanced hangers, located on the back of the mount. All that is needed is for you to install a simple hook in your wall, like you would if you were to hang a picture.

Q: How much do mounts weigh?

A: An average 50-inch dolphin mount weighs around 8-pounds. An average 84-inch sailfish weighs around 12-pounds. Much larger fish, such as a 10-foot blue marlin weighs around 25-pounds. Since the fish are hollow cast, they are very lightweight.

Q: Do I need to document my catch with a photo?

A: A photo is not necessary, but as an option, we can use your photo when doing the final painting.

Q: Are mounts available in different sizes?

A: We maintain an inventory of molds in a variety of sizes. In most cases, we can match one of our molds to the size of your catch.

Q: How do I measure my fish?

A: Take a measurement of the total length of the fish, from the tip of the bill to the tip of the tail for a billfish, or, from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Be careful not to injure the fish prior to release. We do not use the lower jaw to fork of tail measurement.

Q: What if I only have the weight?

A: We can estimate the length of the fish according to the weight.

Q: What if I only have a photo?

A: We can usually estimate the length of the fish according to a photo.

Q: If I send my photo, can it be returned?

A: Yes!

Q: What material is the fish made of?

A: Fiberglass-the same materials as used in production of boat hulls.

Q: How are mounts painted?

A: Mounts are airbrushed by hand with transparent lacquer paints.

Q: Can my fish go outside?

A: Generally, the weather will not hurt your fish. For mounting in direct sunlight, you should request a special clear outdoor coating, to protect from the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Q: How are molds made?

A: Molds are constructed from perfect specimens of real fish. Hundreds of mounts can be produced from one mold.

Q: Do you use any real fish parts such as the skin or bill?

A: No. We produce all of our mounts using 100-percent man-made materials. We even produce acrylic teeth from rubber molds made from real teeth.

Q: How do I keep it clean?

A: Simply wipe it off using a wet cloth from time to time as needed.

Q: Can my mount be shipped to me?

A: Yes! Smaller mounts are packed securely in cardboard cartons and are shipped by ground. Larger mounts are packed in wooden crates and are shipped by common carrier. International shipments are also available. Your fish can be shipped to you anywhere.

For any questions or comments not covered in the F.A.Q. please contact us here
