The Memory Was Yours.
Why shouldn't the mount be the same?
The truth is, almost every fish mount being produced these days starts as a fiberglass replica. The larger companies warehouse blank molds of nearly every species and size. The smaller companies? They source their blanks from larger companies.
Singular. Start to finish.
You passed on the deposit they demanded on the boat. Good.
"It's something I need to think about."
Is a $1000 deposit and a contract you were pressured into signing on the spot necessary? For a piece of fiberglass that will be painted in a warehouse 4-6 months down the line? Again, we don’t think so.

About Bay Fibers Studio
Artist Eric Jackson opened his first studio to begin cataloging his own fishing prizes. From working alone in his basement to perfecting his signature style in the studio on the Potomac River, Eric Jackson’s award winning talent has provided trophies to hundreds of collectors from coast to coast. Each one combines a distinct contemporary aesthetic with life-like attention to detail.
Each trophy fish continues to be produced under the sole supervision of Eric in the studio. In between commissions, Eric’s original works continue to gather accolades from the fishing lifestyle audience while also bringing in awards from the fine art market. His work has been licensed for production in apparel brands, wholesale printing and more.
Choosing a Bay Fibers Studio original means you will be receiving not just a fish worthy of any wall, but an investment in an one of a kind original which continues to grow in value long after the fish has been released into the water.
"It's not what I was thinking... But now I'm thinking"...
We get it. You didn't know this was an option. But there's something about it...
Confidence
Award Winning Artistry. Fish from our studio have been included in numerous fine art exhibitions of wildlife artistry, permanent collections across the region, and continue to be accepted into the finest art shows in the country.
Conservation
Eric is a dedicated conservationist in the Chesapeake Bay- the fishing center of the Mid-Atlantic. His past work has been supported by leading organizations in the Chesapeake region including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Alliance for the Chesapeake, and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. He leads workshops and speaks regularly on the topic of access to the Chesapeake.
Quality
Each piece is created and finished using archival quality materials in every stage of production. Vibrant colors are synonymous with each Bay Fibers Studio trophy, and they're protected using museum grade, non-yellowing UV varnish.
FAQ's

01
These are awesome! How are these made??
We hear that a lot! We can't give all the secrets away, but the proprietary process involves building up layers of color over wax before eventually carving away the final image- which is a deceptively flat illustration.
A combination of age-old techniques and in-house approaches are used to craft each piece to perfection.
03
How are these hung on the wall? How do I display it?
One of the things which sets us apart in the industry is that your replica is 2-D (like a painting, just more impressive), and sets on the wall just like a painting or photograph.
We mount and seal each piece, and ship it out ready to be hung in any location with simple hardware. In house framing is available.
We believe this fact makes our trophies a perfect fit for any space, and makes them especially accommodating to others who might not want a big trophy bass on the wall, intruding into your space! Each piece is an investment, meant to be enjoyed for years to come!
02
What do I need to get started? Do I need a photograph?
Typically, a photo and the species is all that's needed. Knowing the approximate length of the fish is helpful if you want a life size replica, but we can enlarge or reduce the size to meet your needs. In fact, one of our favorite projects is enlarging a little bluegill into a 40" long stunner!
If you don't have a photo, we can work from our stock images and craft a unique replica to match your size requirements, as well as color customization.
04
How long does a reproduction take? What can I expect?
Once work has begun, typical turnaround time is 3-4 weeks, subject to demand. Expedited service is always available.
Prices are very competitive compared to larger fiberglass molds, and we like to think they're even better for what you pay.
We will make sure that your design is approved before we begin reproduction, and you will be sent in progress updates to ensure your satisfaction.
