TWIFP year # 2 week #3

Welcome to year 2 week 3 from Hinsdale New Hampshire! Finally Autumn is here in New Hampshire full of lots of wonderful colors (always reminds of Brook trout!) . Week #2 of the second year was great and lots of truly tremendous works of art! I love to see new folks show up and show there stuff and it is a gift always to have the faithful each week show their talent too!!

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.
So with out further ado lets get  week #3 under way.

I want to start the week with a Beautiful Striped Bass just completed by Mr. Jason Cole of Portsmouth New Hampshire. Jason was a a great student and a great person too! Jason was so happy he called me yesterday to tell me his baby girl ( she a year old loved his fish I hope you do too!
 So here we go and here is to a great week #2 and a great new year! Enjoy!
My Best!
Your friend

Nice zander Taxi-Lover. I like coloration. Are those eyes self painted?

[Jeff Sonner]

Kudos to Jason on a great fish. Love the transition from belly to side coloration. Great scale work.

Here is another contribution to TWIFP.  I don't get many trout, so they are by far not my specialty, but I do enjoy them.  I would love to get where I could compete seriously with them some day.  Anyway... great fish to all.

here's a pic of a perch mnt. we did a few yrs ago. These fish are done as half-cast skin mnts. thought I had a better pic but can't find it on the hard-drive. These were done 6-7 yrs ago. Don't really remember. Color was a lot better than the pic shows.
