Final Product

Some of you may remember several months ago I asked for crappie pictures for a project I was working on. At the time I did not divulge any information. I had a good response, which helped me with the final product. Well, what I was doing was getting idea as to a tattoo I wanted to get. I tokk a bunch of the pictures to a tatto artist and also discussed some thoughts of mine with him. He worked for a week creating a drawing of what I was looking for. I think he did a good job. I did this because I wanted to display some art that will always be with me showing the love I have for fishing this particular species. Anyway, enough of me talking, here is the final product.

Nope, if it were there I would be too embarassed to show it. Would get laughed at too much. Got it on my left outer thigh.

Dang it man you beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been thinking of a crappie tat toooo! Nice work. Think I am gonna try to get one designed like the GLoomis skeleton fish but shaped like a crappie and mix in a little pirate skull & bones?!!?! Congrats on the cool tat!!

The guy that did this said the crappie was the most difficult fish he has ever done.

By the way, did you all notice the jig? That is one of slab_slayer 1's Bumble Bee jig. And if you look closely you can see that the hook is a sickle hook.
