These two sided fish mounts are created with fiberglass from molds cast off real Barracuda giving them the same realistic texture of traditional skin fish mount fish taxidermy. The Barracuda fish mount replica is then airbrushed to showcase the natural color it would have in the water. These custom Barracuda fish mounts are the ultimate in home, office or nautical decoration. Production time varies unless the Barracuda fish mount is already pre-assembled which will be noted above. For the 49" Barracuda, it is a HALF MOUNT (ONE SIDED). Our half mount replica measures 49 inches from those notorious teeth to his broom like tail. You have to have one of these babies for your collection. Each replicas overall length is determined by measuring from the tip of the mouth (or bill) and running along the lateral line to the fork in the tail and then running the distance from the fork to the end of the longest tail length. All length measurements have the possibility of being off by a small percentage since we are fabricating in fiberglass using a grinding technique. With its sleek, torpedo-like body, dagger-like teeth, and ferocious appetite, the great barracuda is built to hunt in the ocean. And that's exactly what it has been doing for the last 50 million years. One look and you can see why they call it the “Tiger of the Sea." Any diver who's seen a barracuda attack another fish can tell you that it happens faster than the blink of an eye.
