sounds like to me he didnt want the job,.[

in my area there are lots of gills perch crappie and such replica mounts... granted I think the smallest is about 7-8 inches...
if her first fish was smaller than that, you might want to buy a small can of playdo and some acrilic hobby paints and recreate it for her...
and if it were that small, you could carve one out of a hotel room size bar of soap...[laugh]
some of the old timers "guys who have been in the business for a while" may still have molds from the old style way of mounting fish.
I just got in my new taxidermy book a couple weeks ago, havent read it yet, tell me the type of fish and it measurements and I will see if I can find it for you,
if you got the photo, and I can find it, all you will need do is find some one who can paint it for you..
