Whoa I leave for a few hours and come back and the week in pics is full of awesome work!!!!!!!!

Nice work guys!!!!!! TO ALL!!!!!

Here's a newbie for me. A custom mold and cast of my personal best smallmouth bass. Nothing huge just 18" but I've only fished for them a day and a probably 3 hours so I was happy.

Beautiful smallmouth Travis!

Here is my first fish.  It's a 22" LMB from Lake Country.  Would have been lost if not for Rick's DVD and the great advice on this site.  Thanks to all.

Wow, such a great week already!!!! 

Since I have taken pictures of this fish, it no longer has paint on it.  It is stripped and waiting to be re-painted, but here is the original paintjob that I had on the fish.  I wasn't satisfied with it, nor am I ever with any largemouth, so I took a couple snapshots, and stripped the bugger.  Custom painted Lumsden Lense, but I dont have a very good picture of the eye. 

Jimmy.
