Time and lots of it, there is about 16 hours in that fish hand painting every scale you see with 3 different colors of powders...

Thanks everyone. It was a long time coming for me to be able to produce something of this quality. I am so glad I took that course learned more in ten days than I could have in ten years by myself.

Man this fish reminds me of childhood...growing up in North Idaho fishing for those suckers... never caught one that big but close... great looking fish again brother...

Bumping this up for Bearpaw to see.

It looks great Joe....

I caught a 5 1/4 pounder (scale weight) years ago in southern BC that I am trying to remember the measurements from, I think I wrote them down somewhere if I can find it. It was a lot darker but I could probably find a picture on the internet that looks similar for color. I have pictures too somewhere but with 5 big boxes of photos it could take a week to find the pictures.

I was sight fishing in shallow water and threw the spoon right to it, watched it hit as the lure slapped the water, it was awesome. Have always wanted to get a replica of that fish and a few others.

Dale,

Being darker is not even a problem. There are a lot of color phases to smallies. That one was painted to look like a Lake Erie smallie, they are more bronze,gold lighter colored than the ones on the west coast.

Where I buy the replicas from they have
left turn 19 x15 5.1 pounds
right turn 20 x15.5 - 5.3 pounds

thanks
Joe
