it looks pretty damn nice to me.... the rattle can part is what amazes me most... simply outstanding..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

The eyes difinately need to be adjusted but very nice job even though it does look uncomfortably familiar

The FIRST Trout I did was the BIG one I sent JOE.-->Rockfish9, then I try improving them an that was the ones I SWAPED at last years PLUG FEST. an this is my 3rd try at giving it a realistic apperance. Im doing a STRIPER ---> but cant seem to FIGURE out how to PAINT it w/ rattle cans an get thoes LINES or marks in scales effect Ill bring them to PLUG FEST maby some one can PAINT IT w/AIR BRUSH, an Ill give them one in trade. hers a pic of the 2. of them one is PRIMED an the outher already has a white base coat.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN
