            February 2024, my family was able to save enough money to vacation in ******. We went on a fishing charter and it started out well. Captain **** and crew explained that we could have our fish mounted through grays taxidermy if we decided to. He asked if that was something we wanted to do. I answered POSSIBLY but lets see. He then tells me that his boss is giving us an extra 1/2 hour at sea free of charge since we decided to mount the fish we catch! I quickly reminded him I said POSSIBLY. He then went on to tell a story of how when he was a young boy just like my sons that he was on a fishing trip in ****** with his dad and he kept his fish and that it is such a great memory that he has and If he didnt decide to mount it he wouldnt have that to look at. Captain **** pit is on fish almost immediately. My sons and my wife (who has bad shoulders) could not reel ANY fish in. So me being a good father reeled 3 sword fish in!!! My youngest a barricade and my oldest a red snapper. Captain **** TOLD US WE HAD TO KEEP ALL THE FISH WE CAUGHT! He explained that we MUST have them mounted. I explained thats not what we agreed on! I did not have anyway of knowing the laws in ******. I argued with captain **** THAT I WAS NOT SIGNING THE PAPERS TO HAVE THE FISH MOUNTED. He got upset and raised his voice and told me that I have no choice and I would agreed. I was in the middle of an ocean on a boat with my family in a foreign country. I did what I thought was best and signed the papers under distress and fear for my families well being. Captain **** quickly changed to a pleasant captain again. Mexican law states any one person can only catch ONE sword fish! ONE NOT THREE!!! Captain **** works for aqua world but Id also selling mounts for grays taxidermy! They also sell the fish that customers catch. Captain **** is a scam artist a liar and a bully. He fully took advantage of my family and now we are forced to pay $9000 for fish to be mounted or pay the deposit of $4000 and not have any fish mounted. Grays taxidermy is not willing to help us in anyway. ***** and aqua world have known to do this and i am just now finding reviews stating the same as mine. Grays taxidermy and aqua world and the events of this day had caused many health problems.

            Our first mount with Gray Taxidermy was in 1988, a striped Marlin taken off the coast of Kona. The second came many years later, a Bull Dorado from Cabo. We recently experienced a phenomenal fishing trip out of Homer, Alaska. My husband caught a Yelloweye Rockfish that was considerable size. Once again, a call to Gray!!! Monica was outstanding to work with and all of our special requests for the fish were completed. We have received the mount and could not be more pleased with the customization and color. It's PERFECTION!! The craftsmanship is superb! Our wall is complete, however we do have more walls!! LOL! Oh and BTW our 1988 striped marlin looks good as new. Thanks again!! Speedy and Tammy
