Tigger Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hey everyone, Hope all is well. I decided to do a run of bluegills. They have a foil base but most of it is covered with paint. I still don't know why I keep doing it! LOL My friend Carl had some really neat pictures of bluegills he caught while icefishing this past winter. The bluegill were laying on the ice in the sunlight. There were about 4 to 5 different variations of colors. I decided to challenge myself with the matching! LOL They came out good but I will not show the pictures of the fish! LOL Rowhunter really did a knock out job on his and it gave me some inspiration to try some more. My wife thanks you! She hasn't seen come out of the basement for 3 days! LOL Take care John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Here is one more and a little largemouth bass I did also. It seems they are always hanging around together anyhow! Take care John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowhunter Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 John, As usual , top shelf work! Sorry about the basement thing.LOL. All the sunfish have so many variation's , and a wonderful color pallet to choose from it's mind blowing! Crosses between Gill's ,long ear, green and pumpkinseed, the possibilities seem endless. The brightly colored Pumpkinseed seem's like the greatest challenge to replicate. I havn't done one yet ,But I will! Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks guys those were alot of fun to do! Doug you are right about the variations of bluegills. So manyyyyyyyyyyyy! I also agree the punkinseed is plain nuts to try to do. My airbrush is not good enough. A hand-me-down one. I may try it if I get a better brush some day. Mike I may sell them not sure about all of them. I did sneak one on ebay. But it is not about that. Just fun to try to create mother natures colors. I have more fun mixing the paints and sticking them in little bottles all over the place! LOL Yes I will be getting some teeth marks on them. Fatfingers is going to take me under his wing and really show me how to musky fish! Jason I did think about the basement. I have been posting alot there. I'll give it some thought. Thanks Swede. You guys chase the pike I think. Any musky's there? Thanks again everyone , take care John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
