will have everything to get you started.
Do the others first. Crappies are very tough. Lots of info on this in the archives.
Like Elmer said, WASCO will have everything you need, I recommend you purchase Tom Sextons "Mounting a largemouth bass A to Z" video and Breakthrough manual, "Fish Taxidermy Manual" and the Tom Sexton fish finishing manual, these will be your biggest expense, a few simple tools will get you started, but wait until you get these first as you might have some of the tools already, you just don't know it yet. Anyway all of these will be cheaper than having one quality mount done by a professional taxidermist. Hope this helps you out. And as Old Fart said, wait on the crappie, notorious for scales popping off.
