Manny Pitruzzello

Manny has devoted the past 38 years of his fish mounting career molding, casting, and preparing fiberglass fish blanks and replicas. Over the past three decades Manny has compiled one of the largest most comprehensive selections of fish molds in the industry. Manny was also an accomplished artist at a very young age and is very detail oriented as it shows in all of his works. From the smallest Baitfish to a monster Great White Shark and everything in between, he has done them all!! With thousands of fish mounts to his credit, you can clearly see the difference in his finished replicas.


Kevin Luchka

Kevin is an avid outdoors-man who brings over 35 years experience to our team. He joined us in 2012 and has already made a major impact on our Marine Taxidermy Division. Working with Kevin you can quickly see that he is a highly skilled craftsman and a real stickler for details, but his real passion is the offshore, big game fish. Kevin works daily on Sharks, Marlins, Tunas, and other varieties of saltwater fish. We at Coast to Coast Fish Mounts are excited to have him aboard!


Wayne Wright

Wayne has been associated with Coast to Coast Fish Mounts for the past 20 years. Wayne is a real, dyed in wool, fisherman. When not building fish blanks, Wayne spends his spare time working as a mate on many of the major charter boats in our area. This allows him to study these fish up close. I know of no one with more passion for fish, fishing, and marine taxidermy than Wayne. He is extremely innovative, creative, and a real gentleman. He also brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience that show through on all of his creations.
