Tim you are the greatest once again spectacular
Don a/k/a 2lbgill, is a kind man. Thanks again Don for surprising with a spot on your site. I am honored.
I casted your bluegill today! I'm going to pop it out of the mold tomorrow and start the finishing process. Your going to love it!
Thanks Don,…
Tim, that is AMAZING!!! We will be in touch! I just got your email!! Great job once again!
This photo is perfect for making a great print. The composer of it is perfect using all the guide lines that the pro photographers use. When a photo amazes the viewer it is good. Tim is a real artist and it also shows in his photography.
I can't stop looking at this photo.
I have seen a replica of this fish up close and it looked pretty bad. Yours looks good, REAL GOOD!
Gorgeous!
Eat your hearts out guys, Tim is presently doing last summers 11.25 inch Bluegill I caught and I can't wait...................................... :)
Definitely the "real deal".
Really nice fish and mount.
OMG! This is one of the reasons I stopped doing fish mounts. This Black Crappie is just too good! The tail and fin markings are just about, no ARE as good as a person can paint! The crappies are very difficult to paint to look natural. Job well done…
The eye! look at the colors that is fantastic
What incredibly detail. Excellent work. I'm looking you up...next trophy I get!
what can I say everything you do amaze me
There is no way I could do that.
That is truly amazing. If I had a top ten list of photos ever put on this site, this one would be right there.
Bravo!

1947 World Record Bluegill
I wanted to find the biggest bluegill blank (an unfinished replica) I could find.
I ended up purchasing this blank that was listed as 16-inches, 4 5/8 pounds, 1947 world record bluegill....
This is what it looked like out of the box.
After examining it I determined it was molded from a skin mount and was prob… Continue

Bluegill Attack
Largemouth bass love small sunfish for dinner.
This is an 8-pound bass replica and 5.5-inch bluegill replica I've recently completed.

Enjoy that Trophy Forever
I love catching sunfish. There's hardly any other warm water species of fish that look as brilliant in the sunlight. And table fare, one of the best! And talk about putting up a fight, like fighting a cast iron skillet with fins!!!
My love for sunfish has brought me here to offer you all a chance at catching a trophy sunfish and keeping it forever.
If you catch a bluegill 11-inches or bigger, a shellcracker 13-inches or bigger or a pumpkinseed 10.5-inches or bigger I will make a replica of the f… Continue

Thank you very much for that info, BC! My usual spot out there (and they only one I know, really) is Bethany Reservoir, up near the wind farms, a mile or 2 west of Clifton Court Forebay. It has loads of bluegill and I caught a 9" redear last time I…
Is this a rock bass or a type of bream?
My nephew asked me a question are goldfish edidable? I could not say.
I have seen one goldfish about the size of a small carp around 17 inches.
Beautiful fish! A Gillzilla!
Hey , I'm a flyroder and use crickets all the time , about the only time I use artificial flys is when I run out of crickets or I'm fishing for smallmouths. The only limitation is it's harder to fish deeper than your flyrod is long but it is possibl…
Yes they are Jim. The lower fish wasn't near the work of the top one.
Will somebody get me some distilled water! I just licked my screen! Thats one awsume lookin fly! Like boggie man said it must be a labor of love because just like his other suggestion. I just use live crickets on a fly rod! HAHA! I wish I coulda see…
Ive got a tackle box full! I love the bitsy minnow. There awsume. I was fishing with my dad and he was casting a bitsy minow while I was draggin crickets. I was embarresed when he was over 20 gills ahead. I had to swallow my pride and ask to borrow…
Cool you fly fish?
Although I usually fish for bass, the most fun I've ever had fishing was when I found myself casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala CD1's into a school of bull blue gills suspending under a creek bridge. The action was nonstop.
Since then, I'…
AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift".
If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water.
The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…
good one Josh
The catfish in my pond are awake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which of those work for you Dale?
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
Are they skin mounts? If they are, they are very good! Trophy natives!
