    Thank You for looking. I would appreciate any comments on my first attempt at a fish.
    The fish was done on a Lake country Replica. 32"

    It's all around terrible. You should strip it and start over - lol! First fish? I think you're playing us Mr. Hall!!! If it's TRULY your first, you should probably quit your day job and start doing fish!

    I bought Rick Krane's video on doing a Brown Trout. I guess the video is pretty good, cause this really is my first fish.

    Why am I not suprised your fish look great? Didn't take you long to figure out game heads, so why not fish! Great job Clinton, you are a natural!

    Thanks for all of the comments guys, Rick's DVD made all the difference. This thing was a real challenge, and took a whole lot more time than I thought it would.

    Uhhhmmmm...........WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
    Here's my critique,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    don't post first fish photos like that, unless your looking for a job. You should really keep at it, I want 2c what your second fish looks like. If your taking requests, I want to see what your first rainbow looks like.
