    Default Wish I could paint them just like this!


    Seeing and doing don't always come easy, and painting a crappie so it doesn't look painted is a daunting task for any fish taxidermist. The irridescence on crappies is astonishing. I never cease to be impressed by every one I see. This 13 1/2"er was the biggest of the two dozen I caught today.

    I got to see one that looked just like it had came out of the water. But this guy put 5 times the average time in painting it.
    But after a few months. The color faded on it. I am with you to get one mounted and it look like that.
    Motel for a week $450
    Gas $150
    Food $290
    4 lb mount that looks like that.. $$$ Priceless.

    Nothing wrong with putting that wherever you see fit.
    On the wall,,, in the pan or back in the pond. It's all good.
    Perca, where do you hail from?
