48" Yellowfin Tuna Fish Mount
This beautiful 48" Yellowfin Tuna Fish Mount is in stock and ready to ship. This 48" Yellowfin Tuna fish replica, which we call a two sided wall mount, is extremely realistic, including a custom painted eye (or eyes if you choose backside eye) and incredibly detailed skin texture that was captured during the molding process. Everything that is viewable when up on all the wall is finished. Yellowfin Tunas are known for their exploding, arial strikes on baits and their delicious table fair. Yellowfin Tuna are a highly migratory species and can be found throughout the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and into the Caribbean waters. Yellowfin Tuna fish replicas are anatomically correct fish mounts that are intended to be displayed on the wall. The backside of the fish mount that is touching the wall or not viewable is actually painted black. These two sided wall mounts are not intended to be hung from the ceiling.
Painting Schedule
This Yellowfin tuna was produced to replicate a yellowfin swimming in the ocean ready to pounce on your sea witch. This color scheme is our normal process which is to paint blue to steel black above, silver to silvery gold on the flanks, silvery white below. A fresh fish a band of bright gold and yellow or iridescent blue (sometimes both) runs along the upper flank, separating the dark back from the lighter belly area. The final step is to clear coat the yellowfin tuna with a UV Protectant Urethane clear coat, allowing you to display your new tuna fish replica indoors or outside. We do offer an outdoor bracket for installation in areas that might have high wind or potential to get bumped.
Yellowfin Tuna Replica Shipping Process
Once you place your order, our packaging team will carefully package this fish mount to ensure a safe journey from us to you. We are proud to boast a less than 1% damage rate but should for any reason this fish mount arrive to you less that 100% perfect, please let us know right away and we will remedy the situation accordingly. A couple of the smaller sized yellowfin tuna mounts will ship regular ground shipping but the larger yellowfin tuna replicas have to be crated and then shipped on a freight truck. Over the years we have developed the perfect crating system that provides enough protection to provide a safe transit from our place to yours without having to create a solid plywood framed crated which would be extremely heavy and extremely expensive to ship. Instead our crating system utilizes 1x4 furring strips with angle braces and 2 ply cardboard which delivers a lightweight crate with superior protection. Please contact our experienced team ahead of placing your order if you would like to obtain a rate quote to see the cost of shipping prior to your purchase.
Yellowfin Tuna Fish Mount Installation Process
Our easy to hang bracket arrives already attached to the backside, balance point of this fish mount. After removing this fish mount from the packaging, hold up the fish mount up on the wall where you would like it to live and then mark the spot where the hanger is on the wall. Then drill in a screw or hammer in a nail and the bracket will easily hang on the nail or screw head. The easy level bracket also allows you to display your new yellowfin tuna replica on the wall at pretty much any angle. The bracket has 5 sawtooth groves that the nail or screw head in the wall can hang on, creating a different balance point which allows you to point the head up toward the ceiling or down toward the floor, depending on which groove the head is in. We also offer an outdoor bracket for installation in areas that might have high wind or potential to get bumped.

More About Yellowfin Tunas:
Yellowfin tuna are a species of fish found in pelagic waters of both tropical and subtropical climates. Yellowfin Tuna are one of the larger tuna species and can reach to weights of over 400 pounds. Yellowfin Tuna are easily identifiable by their extremely bright yellow finlets which run between the second dorsal fin and the caudal fin (the tail). The second dorsal and anal fins are commonly called sickles. These fins can grow up to two feet in length on very large yellowfin tunas. Hawaiian's word for yellowfin tuna is Ahi and this is the common word in sushi restaurants and seafood markets. The yellowfin tuna loin is sought worldwide for sushi applications as the flesh melts in your mouth when eating it raw. Experienced sushi chefs and home cooks can prepare ahi in dozens of different ways to enjoy eating it raw.
There are a many different ways to catch yellowfin tuna. Some anglers like to toss chunks on structures in the ocean like Fads and oil rigs, bringing the yellowfin tuna up toward the boat and then pitching baits to hook up with the yellowfins. Here, off the east coast of Florida, the preferred way to catch Yellowfin Tuna is to mark bird packs with radar and then pull baits in front of the bird packs which have yellowfin tuna feeding under the bait pods that the birds are feeding on. When you get to hook up with a trophy yellowfin tuna be sure to get a hold of us so we can make you yellowfin tuna replica to commemorate that special day on the water for the rest of your life.
