You'd have more luck actually going to a taxidermy service and asking them for a quote based on rough estimates in size and weight. Bear in mind that fish are very hard to taxidermy because their colour fades and they dry out.
Especially in the fry pan

The plan in my head :

Step one : catch a big snapper, like a really big snapper worth mounting
Step two : dont worry about step two and beyond, do step one first.
Step three : focus on step one one first!
Step four : back to step one first seriously.

One must learn how to walk before running.
Years of fishing and I'm still stuck on step one.
