The Month in Fish Pictures" ~Year 6~ March Addition 2013!!!!!!!

Took second with my rainbow at the PA show this year. Super happy and now I can take what the judges said to me and improve for next year. Cant wait.

 

Loved your fish Jamie and better days are coming!

 

Thanks Frank that means a lot to me. Take what I learned and better myself.

 

My last fish for a while. Wish I knew how to pull out detail in my pictures. The bluegill has great depth but my pics make it look flat.

 

Hey Jamie I saw that rainbow at the show congrats on second place. I was listening in a bit to Terry critiquing your mount. (alot of great info just in those couple of minutes) and if I would've known it was you I would've introduced myself to ya.

 

Thanks Ryan. Yeah I learned a lot of good info by a lot of good people.

Love thos stripers !!!!!! 8)

 

A few Perch, custom molded to make this stringer mount.

 

My first attempt at a skin mount steelhead. Had lots of fun working on this one

 

Here is a recent Smallmouth Bass from Lake Country.

 

Ken that's one good looking Small mouth!!!

 

Another Salmon for me, same mold as last one, but painted as a fresh run Atlantic. Huge thanks to Red stag for this blank !! Jeffs eyes once again.

 

Thanks Jason! Awesome Atlantic JE!!!!

 

Stripers are really exceptional! Just the right amount of.........pinks, golds, greens........everything! They look so pumped full of life compared to many I have seen. Nice eyes!

 

Mike Kroessig, Those stripers are dead on!

 

Here is a crappie i tried something new on, its made of clay. Its only a half cast. I pressed air dry clay into an old mold of a crappie, let it dry , and it sperated from the mold. cost about a dollar to make . what i found out is clay is too brittle, the pelvic and pectorial fins broke, made replacement fins from hot glue.
Painted the tail, dorsal and anal fin too dark. Used anglers Artistry's DVD methods on painting a crappie.
