Bad about posting on here. This is a custom molded Atlantic Tripletail. It's 32x28. An extraordinary specimen. You'll find these tasty fish under or near almost any structure in the salt, I'm told. Especially floating debris. I've never caught one. This was painted based on customer pictures and opted to include the scrapes/teeth marks, etc.

This 29" Skinmount left today. I was a bit sad to see her leave. It looked really cool on the wall. Maybe I'll do one of my own one day...

Carved body, custom molded fins, and head. Hand painted eye. Baitfish is a 9" Tiger Trout chaser.

Come along with me as we go through the process of doing a skinmount Rockbass. 10" fish, respectively. The Pectoral fin will be reattached when I do the finish work. I removed it to dunk the head for molding.

What a mean lookin little sucka

Mold bench Monday!

27x22 Barely open mouth on the mold table today. I love this job for many reasons. Being able to work on fish of this caliber is one of them! Yowza....

Here are some inside and outside pics of a Walleye replica I'm sending out today. It's a custom mold and cast I have been able to use more than once. Sometimes that pays off, but not always. I have several molds I've never pulled casts from haha!

Walleye seem to take me way more time than most fish, even though there aren't as many colors being used. I just really struggle finding a fast and effective way to do them. Maybe in another 20 years.

Eyes are from Steve Silseth. Set with Klei Epoxy, as were the fins.

Hope you enjoy.

Fish is 29Lx18-19G apx

A week ago Sunday, I was setting trout out to mold for the week, and POP! My back went out. Luckily, my significant other Dakotah was in the house and was able to run me to the emergency room! She took great care of me as I rested it all week, and Friday I was able to get some painting done, but not a lot. I'm back in the shop this week and cranking out some fish. I have a ton of Walleye coming up. Both skinmount and replicas. Here is a big custom mold and cast Walleye replica being scale tipped with some interference gold. Hope you enjoy it. I'll post a video or pictures of it once it's finished up for the very patient customer.

Tipping with Champions Choice Pale Gold and Pearl. Will post them in comments. Hopefully fb doesn't alter the video quality. It's a cool looking fish...

18"L x 17"G, 4lbs 5oz , Custom Mold and Cast Reproduction. 2 copies for the customer. I'm really glad I was able to mold this fish. I've only a handful or so crappie left before I'm done with them all together. They just take me way too long to paint. I could've easily done 6 bass in the same amount of time!

Hope you like them.

I used the Champions Choice tipping mediums on this fish. They sure work nice. Give them a try.

I thought I'd already shared this on here, but apparently not. Here is a pedestal mount, 360° viewable, Skinmount Largemouth Bass. Cast parts, carved body. This fish was shipped to Texas when done. Had it on the rotating white base for pictures only.

Base was a prefinished habitat from Matuska Supply, with some stuff added to it, and the crawdads were some Fishmaster Products I had on hand and painted to match the customers requests. I also use the ivory colored foam for almost all my fish bodies from Matuska as well.

Klei is what I used for attachment of cast parts and epoxy work etc.

Steve Silseth eyes in this one.

Fish was in the 10lb range. 26" or so . Didn't have much for eggs or a belly. She was a big fish though, regardless. It didn't revive after being caught, otherwise would've been released.

Thanks for checking it out.

Stills of the big Chum Replica were taken outside before it shipped off. Sorry bout the reposting.

I got paid for this Largemouth Bass Replica today. That's pretty neat and will be forever amazing to me. I'm super thankful to earn a living doing something I truly love. Pretty neat.

Smallmouth video I forgot I took. Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, folks!!

Again, big thanks to Dave Campbell for the blank, Steve Silseth for the eyes, and Klei for my epoxy.

Stretched the Iwata's legs a bit recently. Sure happy with the end results. These leave today....

Big Smallmouth Bass Replica from www.davecampbellfish.com
Not sure how many times I've used this blank, but it's been a lot. This particular coloration really gave me fits, but I was happy with the turnout. Headed to Indiana.

37" Peacock Bass Replica. This fish was even darker than I painted it. Nearly black. I haven't done a Peacock in almost 15 years. Kinda neat. Had to add quite a bit to the blank, especially fins, but it made for a nice finished product. This fish will end up in Mexico.

05/06/2024

Here are some cool shots of some fish caught off the west coast that the customer picked up recently. They were caught on a week long fishing trip for Tuna in Mexico in very deep water. I was able to get decent molds and casts from these, considering the shape they were in. The red one is a male California Sheepshead. The other is a Calico Bass. I've never done either one before, and the customer and I were both thrilled with the end results. I'm looking forward to doing more of these down the road. I have another Sheepshead on the short list, but it's a much larger specimen.

10/26/2023

Just an update! I'm still alive and still getting work caught up. This customer stuck it out with me after an eternity of waiting. I'm glad he did, as I got to finish this beast. Slowly but surely I'll get to all of your orders. Just stick with me a while...

Skinmount King Salmon, cast parts, carved body.

Appreciate the work as always,
Jimmy

Smallmouth video I forgot I took. Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, folks!! Again, big thanks to Dave Campbell for the blank, Steve Silseth for the eyes, and Klei for my epoxy.

Big Smallmouth Replica I purchased from Dave Campbell, chasing a Goby (mine). The prefinished habitat from Matuska Supply really makes it pop nice. Headed to Missouri.

Skinmount Bass pair, headed to Minnesota. Top fish has a cast head. This was a piece I wanted to hold on to. Hand carved bodies. Driftwood is artificial from Matuska Supply.

Skinmounts between Replicas this week. Lots to come. Old and new.

Knocking out a ton of skinmounts lately, finishing old ones up and carving new ones, making room in the freezer. I wanted to show lots of movement with this fish and carved the body accordingly. Really cool swimming pose. Will attach a cast head before it's done. This is a slightly smaller one than the one posted Monday.

10lb Bass Skinmount. Fish was sent from Texas. Custom molded head, it's just slid on there for the video. Hand carved form, 360° Mounts aren't too common but are cool to look at when done.

Tried new painting techniques on this bass replica from www.davecampbellfish.com . Here it is after final gloss, ready to ship. What are your thoughts on it? I think it's the best bass I've ever painted, but who knows. The blank is exceptional. Hopefully I did it justice. Eye is from Steve Silseth. Hopefully the quality doesn't go blurry like it does sometimes. If so, I'll try again. (White spot on top of gill plate is a scar/wound or something unique to that specific fish, painted to match the customers request)

28" Hen Brown Replica. This gal had a lot of color and large round spots. Was a super fun one to paint. Needs glossed in this video. Hopefully it doesn't look blurry after the upload. It's well below 0 for the next several days here. Hope you're all staying warm if you need to go outdoors! Travel safe.

Something different. Bought a bullfrog cast, and used one of my lillypad molds for this. It will go with a bass underneath it. Very good detail in the pad. Not something you see done often.

30" Sockeye Replica ready for gloss. Hand painted eye. Lots of depth in this head. Really happy with it.

Hopefully the upload doesn't make the quality of the image suck. Cutthroat Replica just finished that I shared on Instagram. I don't use fb hardly at all anymore. Enjoy and be well!

For me the lighter and softer a fish is, the harder it is for me to paint. This 16 7/8" Black Crappie was caught through the ice and very very pale. It's pretty close I think.

7" Custom mold and cast Bullhead. How many of you grew up catching these like I did?
