Nice job on all the fish mounts. DougP that tiger muskie is awesome!!! I don't suppose you'd have a good schedule for a tiger or a regular muskie or both.I have a few but I don't like them very much.

[Jimmy Lawrence]

Rick, amazing bass.  Hope mine turns out half that good!!! 

Dougp-I loved the Musky!  I hope to catch one or two of them as soon as the ice gets off.  They are an amazing fish. 

Topnotch-I love the walleye as well.  Nice "kickers" with the perch. 

Pescado-Also that smallie is cool!

Im going to try and post a pic on here.  Its a skinmount done in mexico that I had to redo.  It had many cracks and splits.  I sanded down the cracks, and re-built "skin" and made a new bill, dorsal, and tail for the thing.  It was my first saltwater fish to paint.  It was done a couple years ago... so here goes........

Here are a few that just left my shop this morning.

[Cole]

Welcome to the forum gus, I really like the paintjob on that largemouth. Everyone else, excellent as always.

[Jimmy Lawrence]

Nice work on the Largemouth Gus.  Where did you get your repro?  Very nice paintwork.  Lets see some more.

[tonyt]

Not much color on this kind of fish

[Gina]

Tony, what kind of fish is that??  Looks like a cross between a arowana and a crocodile!
