Every now and then we have a customer who orders a fish mount and requests a return due to the overall size of the fish being smaller then they expected.  We understand how a customer can get confused and always do our best to accomodate the situation.  Fish Mounts are measured in overall length, that measurement is from the tip of the mount to the end of the tail, regardless of fish species.  It's easy to get confused due to the different ways fish get measured across the globe.  For example with billfish there is the LJFT measurement which is represents measuring from Lower Jaw to Fork In Tail, then there is the measuring technique of tip of nose to fork in tail which many states give their fishing citations for. However in fish mounting and fish taxidermy the measurement is overall length. This short explanation video gives the basics on measuring your catch for fish mounting.
