hey Dan,

   Gary Jorgensen in Rockhampton. He does a great job and has Gt moulds in a couple of sizes. One is a good 45kgs. Contact Barra jacks in rocky on 0749224833 for his details.

I know Hawaii is far away, but try to Google Layne Luna.  He has the talent AND molds.  You can have a REAL 100lber on your wall.

I have a black marlin and a sailfish from creative fish mounts in Cairns. Both were from molds he had in stock. Both are small fish, 65kg for the Black and 20kg for the sail but they are great. Two other fish I have (spanish mackeral and a Cobia) were prizes but I'm pretty sure they came from him as well. He has a vast array of molds laying about. VERY happy with his work.
