Jimmy that is a nice job! I'm looking forward to my workshop in August. Did you do the base work with Rick I really like it alot.

[Jimmy Lawrence]

Thanks alot!  I couldn't have acheived such results without my good friend Rick!!! I can't tell you enough about his classes, and about him.  I didn't have time to do the base there, but we ran over several sketches and ideas.  We sunk most of our time into basic fish stuff.  But he works his workshops around your wants, and needs, so let him know and im sure you can plan something that will work!!!  Once again, THANKS RICK.  YOU ARE THE MAN.

   Great job men I am glad to see boot camp paid off hope to follow in your footsteps someday.Lord knows I had a great teacher and now it is up to me. Fellow student of Anglers artistry    Bill W

[Chad See]

Bill,  Thanks for the kind words.  I have no doubt that you too can achieve any goal you set for youself.  We have all been given the right tools, it's just a matter of making them work for us.

It never ceases to amaze me how Rick can teach.  Congrats to Jimmy, Chad and all others I may have missed that went to see Rick.  Trying to mount the perfect fish for a competition can be a very daunting task; all fish have so much detail and anatomy, it seems impossible to re-create  what nature has put there.  I'll keep on trying.  Thanks Rick.
