Dick,
Thank you for your comments!
During the cold months, I spend more time working on fish molding, casting and air brushing. It will be nice to start fishing again in the spring.

Jeff & 2lbgill,
Thank you for the kind words!
I am a part time / hobbyist wildlife fish artist. I like to mold nice panfish specimens, to use in future mounts for "Catch and Release" Anglers.
The last few years I have been trying to catch / find a hefty native Bluegill -12" or bigger to mold. Anyone Donating a good specimen to me, I in turn, would send them back a finished mount from the Bluegill sent to me.
Email me if interested...
Thanks!
Don
