A musky guide in the area offers a free musky replica for any of his clients that catch a 50 inch or larger musky. This was his first client with a 50 1/2 inch musky released. I assembled and painted a replica of our state record (which I had a mold made of and also mounted a few years back) which came closest to the 50 1/2 inch fish.

I never went to bed the other night so he could have it for an upcoming sport show.

Here is how the blank came and after I grinded down the flashing, filled in the seams, and added the pectoral fins.I also whited out any filler, added eyes, and did some alterations on the head to body transition.



Here are a couple of pictures of the finished product. Looks like a real fish eh?

The peanuts in the box are how he transported it to the show and how the original blank came.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
