First big musky

[danimalw]

I just caught a 51 on 10/29 from the Chippewa Flowage, which is my first over 50 (hopefully the one that tops this will come from Eagle next year!). Anyway, it's replica time, and I am currently undecided between Fittante and Rick Lax. Does anybody have any pros or cons from either of the two from their own experience? From looking at their websites, the main concern I have is that I haven't seen a picture of any dark, solid colored flowage fish. Let me know what you think. I welcome everyone's opinion.

We have had all (6) our replica's done with Lax. I can't say anything bad about Fittante but Lax has been/is great! I personally love the mounts. Zero complaints! Just something about the mounts that just look so like the picture of the fish. Also remember Lax helps sponsor Herbies musky hunt. Take a look at his website or ask him to get some examples of that type of water fish. If the wesite doesn't show that type I am pretty sure he has an example, if not he can match the picture good. Both Rick and Ron Lax have been great to us over the years and never had a finished product that was not good. Just my opinion. Gongrats on your beauty!

Yeah, let's see it. Both places come highly recommended by top notch people, so I am sure I'll be happy wherever I decide to go. Anybody have a ballpark estimate of what I should expect to pay?
