A great week Fishheads!!!!!
From beginner's to the best in the world we all join in every week in a critique free and hassle free string with nothing more then great artist and inspiring fish taxidermist and carves get together to share with one another their praise and inspiration of good will and friendship to one another.
This week I want to share with you as a special moment of inspiration motivation! Mr. Koby Jones is a big time fisherman and a up and coming taxidermist cut from the same cloth as his Dad Travis Jones! Miss Ashley and Travis Jones spent some time with Kathie, Amber and I doing a bit of R and R up north in our version of God’s Country!
I wanted to share this picture of a Father and son enjoying the day of good fishing. This is what families should be and what we all need to do for our children when we can! If Koby Jones becomes a taxidermist as we are it is because we all valued each other to be friends and a big family!
So here goes!
I hope you enjoy the week!
So with out further ado let's get week # 40 under way.
So here we go and here is to a great week in fish pictures!!!! # 40 Enjoy!
My Best!
You're Friend
