   King Sailfish Mounts offers an array of mounted fish, producing freshwater and saltwater fish mounts and replicas. Also called Release Mounts, KSM fiberglass fish reproductions provide sportsmen with the highest quality and value and symbolize an age of environmental awareness. Our skilled artists capture nature\'s rich beauty and realism and transform raw materials into the ultimate representation of an angler\'s most notable achievement.Inspired by Accomplished Artists, King Sailfish Mounts of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, was started in 1991 by an enthusiastic Raymond Douglas. The concept was to introduce a new method for mounting gamefish due to the growing demand of the catch-and-release sportfishing community. Formerly a Financial Accountant, Douglas began his new career at home in his garage, where he began experimenting and refining his skills for specimen gathering, molding, casting, and airbrushing various species of local gamefish.After a successful debut at the Miami International Boat Show, KSM became a runaway commercial success. Douglas immediately moved out of the family garage and acquired key personnel from the once well-known Pflueger Marine Taxidermy and J. T. Reese Taxidermy Studios. Within a short time, KSM had developed a growing clientele and soon would serve customers from all parts of the world.Over thirty years later, Daniel Miers joined the team, bringing deep business experience, to ensure King Sailfish Mounts continues to be a World-Class producer of Fish Mounts and a solid leader in Marine Conservation. KSM continues to produce mounts traditionally – by hand….One-At-A-Time….with extreme accuracy–keeping with the same principles that led to KSM\'s initial success in fiberglass fish reproductions. King Sailfish Mounts is where Art meets Fishing - let us help you with your once-in-a-lifetime catch!
