There are a couple good threads from a while back related to this:roth2000 said:I don't have any right this moment but I want to know where to go when I find the right fish. Where is Almost Alive Taxidermy? Also what is the best method for storing them before taking the fish to the taxidermist?

You can read about the best way to prepare a fish to be taken to a taxidermist. As for a replica mount, you just need good measurements (length, girth) and some photos. Most good replica taxidermists will then match the colors on your fish.
As I mentioned in the above posts, I used LAX Taxidermy:

and they were great. No doubt there are several good ones out there.
Good luck!
