Jimmy’s Sweeeeet Bass!!!!!

[Dwayne P.]

great bass

[Jknuth]

Nice looking Bass Jimmy. I love the relaxed poses. gives the fish a real attitude.

Here is my fish for the week.
A Koi i finished up for my wife.
she loved seeing them when she was in Japan.

It is 15" and a custom replica, the base is bamboo and the koi is painted on tea stained rice paper with watercolor and ink. I still need to put my signature on it but my Kanji isn't all that great. Shakey hands

HOLEY SHMOLEY    NICE ONE JOSH!!!

[Jeff Sonner]

Josh you have definitely set the bar really high this week. I think that whole presentation is one of the best pieces I have seen on here. Sometimes things just seem to naturally fall in place for me and I am able to step back and say "wow", but most of the time I am left scratching my head wondering what is wrong with a piece. Well I am stepping back now-WOW. Great job.

[Travis Jones]

Great bass Jimmy. Love the mount love the gold tipping. Josh, really cool koi my friend. I love those fish. You really pulled it off very well. I hope to get my fish off to you next week. I may  get a koi from you someday too.

[Bill4bass]

Josh, That is an absolutely gorgeous fish. The background presentation of it is positively Top Shelf. Great Job.

[Marc]

Very nice bass jimmy. Boy, I think I've seen about 100 bass on here with 100 different looks yet they all are great pieces of art work.
 Awesome karpoli Josh. I think you're turning Japanese..I think you turning Japanese!!! Atleast I THINK so.
 Here is a walleye that was caught and mounted back in "92" It's the second largest walleye ever caught in the state of WI. weighing in at a whopping 16.44 lbs.
 The whole piece is showing wear and damage from getting hauled all over Gods creation.

[Wild Bill]

Nice fish so far from everyone !! Josh that Koi is awesome.

[jemmick]

Josh, really great koi and a really cool way to display it !!!

[Perk]

    Just a customer Pike.I love it when I can talk them into doing their pike/muskie with the mouth closed.Looks so much more natural to me.

[Chad See]

Nice fish this week. 

Josh, I LOVE that koi.  Very nicely done.  Great display. 

Perk, love that pike as well.  The tail sticking out of the mouth is a nice touch.    Way to go. 

[Terry]

Jimmy- WOW!!! Goodness but that is a FINE looking largemouth...

Josh- I have absolutely no idea what constitutes a good koi; I don't think I've ever even seen one. But I do know that fish looks like it could start flopping while hanging on your wall, so it seems to me it's a pretty incredibly good fish. I also love the fact that you supply a nice element of diversity for those of us who see largely the same thing a lot. By the way... you finished it for your wife? How do I get my wife to give me a "honey-do" list like that? 

Marc- Terrific walleye!! And what a pig!

Perk- That's a very nice looking pike; well done! I agree with you on the mouths, and on more species than pike. Something closed or partially open is so much better looking. But the client's always right... right? lol

[duckfeathers]

                  WOWW!  Talk about inspiration. The color of that Koi knocked me off my chair. Beautiful job.

[Cory]

Great bass Jimmy!  I have to say that Josh's fish is inKOIdable!!!!!!!!!!!
