Week 10 !!!!

It's been great to see all the wonderful fish pictures over the last ten weeks.
This will be our final posting of the week in fish pictures, due to many commitments with our fish business.
If anyone would like to continue it, feel free to do so.

Happy Holidays to all,
Blessings over the miles!

nice work!! i really hope someone keeps this thread going as this in my opinion has been one of the better ones on here!

[Jon S]

Yes, love that crappie repro. Thanks for sharing your fishwork on here and hopefully the fish pictures will continue to come. They are neat to look at and very inspiring for a novice like me.

Greg S....great job & great thread idea!! Hope we can keep it going. Looks like you've got a nice thing going!! Here's a few photos from past customer work. All are skin mounts with the browns having custom cast heads.

Nice work, I hope this continues, I really enjoy this. I'm going to try posting for the first time. This is a summer Great Lakes King. I'm not to good with taking pictures, sooo here goes....

[AnglingArtisan]

Nice work everyone 
Hopefully someone picks up the flag and we carry on with this.

My contribution for the week to what BIGUN refers to as "The Braggin' Page"...LOL

Custom molded and cast 18" Largemouth.
I was inspired by the singing "Big Mouth Billy Bass"...just joking


note: the little black dot on the jaw was actually something on the lens of my camera

[fishmounter]

Great stuff guys!  I love looking at these pics!  That Largemouth with the more "relaxed" look is very refreshing to see.  Dorsal back, mouth not wide open, it's very graceful looking...like fish really are.

Very nice work.....Here is the largest repo that I've had the pleasure of painting. (13'-0" long 610 lb. blue marlin)
When the call came I was very excited........At the time I also agreed to deliver this marlin. I really didn't think about how I would
transport this big fish when the job was complete. This could be the first blue marlin that has ever been transported in a cattle trailer.. . This is how we do it on the panhandle....LOL!!! Enjoy......

Wow. Yeah, we need to keep the "braggin page" going (though I believe I used the term braggin "board" oh-well). Great fish as always! Love the GS & S Rock Bass. Doug P: that second brown trout of yours makes me hang my head in shame because I did one last year that was about that color and I really think yours is what the customer had in mind. I'm not being modest- I just didn't nearly nail it- I even kind of blew it- yours are fantastic. Angling Artisan: I can't even look at that awful bass- I mean, obviously, like everyone else, that black dot is so distracting- it just ruins it for me- he he. That bass is just ridiculously great- I just melted- again. mcole: nice work! and I do mean WORK!!!  Oh yeah: the Chinook: nice separation on the scale painting- very cool!      Dave

Here are my contributions for the week.  Both are custom cast replicas and the bottom photo is the larger one 22x18 (8 pound)  and is available for sale @ www.bruchsfish.com    Now I need to crate them up and ship them off to the client in South Carolina(he had a great trip on Lake Erie in May).  Hope everyone had a great week and here's to an even better weekend 

[Dave Smith]

GULP. Gary, those are just sick. I can't even talk to you guys anymore. I just got my subscription and some back issues of BREAKTHROUGH and you guys are all famous! Great articles in there! How can I proceed on my smallmouth, now? The called about it today but I want to throw it away and start over with one of your blanks!! yipe!! (and you r paint job- he he)    Dave

[kd70chev]

Great fish once again.AA , we all know that black dot is a result of an escapee out of the color cup when putting your finger over the gun and hitting the trigger or does that only happen to me?Keep this going and next week I will post 2 of Cecil's perch I am working on.KD

[Jeff Lumsden]

Bigfish- Your paint job is VERY nice! Pay as much attention to your fin details, i.e, unions, shape and attitude ( a little judge lingo). The large mouth is awesome very nice to look, at as well as Gary's Small mouth. Nice work.
