Jknuth, that is an awesome fish!!!  I have very little experience with salt-water fish, however I am going to florida fishing next month!!!!!! Hopefully come back with alot of reference, and a couple specimens to try molding myself.  Great work to all.  Very inspiring indeed.

Josh,

If you do that well with the ones that cause you problems... 

Hope to have a monster gill for you in a few weeks. You're welcome to actually come down and try and catch it fresh to mold here if you want! The big fishathon starts in about a week. Smallmouth, largemouth, bluegills, and a few yellow perch. Live smallies go to Bass Pro Shops except 48 smaller ones that need to be sacrificed for VHS testing on the 10th of October. After that the pond gets drained and rotenoned to get the fish we missed. Might be some interesting fish then too.

Thanks Jimmy
Where are you headed in Florida? and what species are you going to target?  Just out of curiosity.

One fun thing to try is if you are staying at a place that has a fish cleaning station where people throw chunks of fish in. Is to throw out a chunk of fish (head, filleted body, or cuda fillet) and put it on a huge hook with a nice leader.
Big Lemon sharks hit these spots after dark, Id guess around 9-10 pm
They come in every night.
set up the pole pour yourself a drink and wait for the clicker to go off, and hold on!!!!

Josh,
Your kelp greenling replica is very nice! Love the scale tipping.
Very realistic eye coloration. Good job!

Nice perch Cecil- one of the nicest of the nicest- nicest nicest 

Great fish Josh- did those fish get shipped ?

Just took in an order for another steelhead Dave- will contact you soon.

Here is a fresh molded pike repro.

Fish layed up and ready for molding



finished piece, sorry for the small pic, it's all I've got




and a 42" flathead. This fish lacked some of the bloching we normally see on flatheads...

[Jknuth]

I will be shipping them out any day now.
Thanks for the tips
Nice pike
I love seeing them in the molds, It helped me figure out how to do it better.
Here is one more for the same customer
A Sandpaper skate
again custom mold and cast

Rick,

You need to give Dave S. a few days off that whale shark project so he can finish up the bear and cougar heads I've had down his shop since......

Well, I can't remember since when!
