Isn't required to be a "fishing" pumpkin, just a pumpkin (well, no Giants pumpkin)

is it too late to add one? I couldn't get the whole fish in one shot it was too big lol

here's a couple more

I voted #3 for the spirit of the holiday.

Next would be #2 because of the freehand carving.

No offense, but #1 looks like a stencile. Good, but I always look for originality in the carving. I ALWAYS carve freehand, but that's just me.
(this year I did a cyclop face, which came out pretty good.)

Should have carved on one of those 1000lb gourds and could have at least gone for a world record sized striper impression.

When are we announcing the winners??

And the Winner IS:

By a slight edge - Dave Ross, Diggin Jiggin

2nd: Tim Tim a/k/a South Pond

3rd: joint effort, my son Liam and I (pics don't show well but it is supposed to be a T-Rex pumpkin eating a ghost)...

Thank you gentlemen!

Dave, you win a #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& plug that he already sent so forward me your address.

BigFish Larry has an added bonus I will let him add for the winner(s).

Thanks - it was fun. Next year we'll have more warning (and thought) - thanks!

Kudos to Larry & Scott for funding the winnings :btu:

Not positive if it is a stencil or not but I would be surprised if it is. The carver is an extremely talented person that does no sheeit fantastic work (his rubber baits are ugly - kinda puke color :yak5: )

Congrats to all who participated! Because I believe you are all winners and your effort shows in your fine work, BigFish Bait Co. would like to award each of you a plug!!!:uhuh: I will post a picture tonight or tomorrow and the three winners can pick their plug from a group of plugs so you get what you like! 1st Place will choose first, then second, then 3rd! Again congrats to you all from first place to 3rd place! There are no losers at S-B!:claps::btu::kewl:

Not a stencil, carved from my own little brain. I actually carved this before i knew there was a contest and entered it just for the hell of it.
If it was a stencil it would have been of my own hand anyhoo. :jump1:
Thank John and everyone who voted.:uhuh:

I will post choice plugs tomorrow for the winners!

I didn't think it was stenciled. Kinda like Numbskull slinging an eel, he could but it doesn't fit the reputation.

I will post choice plugs tomorrow for the winners!

Sweet - thanks again!
