Yea laska I have one of the original perch that you didnt autograph.

I love the old one and the new is so real looking if you had it a bucket with live perch the CO might count towards your limit..

Good Luck with the collector carver award

[Laska]

Lots of hard work and practice seems to be paying off, thx for the comments guys. Ewood ill have to sign that deak sometime. Can't wait to post pics of my other comp decoys when I get them done they are coming along great!

[hawkeye43]

You did good kid, again good luck

Excellent job, particularly paying attention to details on fin rays and spines, scale texture, and in capturing details of the head. It looks like a real jumbo with big lips and a fat head.

The only constructive criticism, for purposes of improving your placement in show, would be can you make the reds burn out a little more on the fin edges? Seems like those big jumbos always carry those orange and red tips on their belly and fins.

GREAT job Laska.

I'm working on a 11" perch now with carved metal fins and a belly like a jumbo ill post some pics soon also have a walleye in the works for the working decoy carver of the year trying to keep my title from last year nov 19th is coming fast!

I think if that was in my spear hole, I'd be to tempted to drop down a wax worm on a hook. Holy cow, if that doesn't fool a monster I don't know what would.

I've actually made a 3 inches smaller one that is better than this one just recently post some pics soon
