"Yox, you arent a fish head", or "Youre just doing this because you were just out there doing a deer workshop" etc. Well, thats sorta right, but not all the way. You see, Ive seen these posts from Rick now and then, and I thought I knew what he offered, having judged with him in the past. I thought I knew what he knew, so to speak. But after spending a week up there, and seeing what he has as mounts in various stages of completion, and talking shop during dinner, and while fishing with him, I see theres so much more. To top it off, we visited with a client of his (and mine) on the way to catch my flight, and he had a wall of Ricks work. I may not mount fish, but I know what they look like. The client happened to have the species Im most familiar with locally, so I could be pretty critical. Those fish were NICE! Theres no doubt in my mind that attending one of Ricks classes should help your fish work immensely. I know Ive said this before, but he inspires me to wanna mount up a pristine brookie with him one of these days!
The DVD's you mention... are those a done deal (completed and for sale) or are those in production still and will be available at some point in the future?
