My First Smallmouth Bass Reproduction (Charlies Taxidermy)
« on: July 28, 2010, 08:07:50 PM »
Well, this is the 3rd fish reproduction and 1st small mouth I have done. I used a bunch of watercolor pencils, and probably about 8 different powders along with some paints to finish him out. Oh and I forgot about the charcoal too. I was pretty pleased how it turned out . Im starting to really like doing reproduction fish. Its hard to take good pictures of these things .

Dang almost missed this one Charlie, great job on that smallie. Let me know if you ever get some free time and want to get out on the boat and get some additional reference pictures of a smallmouth or a largemouth.  All you have to do is bring yourself, everything provided as long as you can hold on to the O - Sh!t handles it will be fun.

Well I know that,  we can get some better angles on them with your camera I am pretty sure yours is better than mine. You need to get your butt out of that shop and unwind a little. Bring your camera and take some pictures and do some relaxing. Promise I will keep the boat below 70 for you.   ;)
