ok today I wish I was out spearing so I turned around in my cube and took this picture wishing I was in the spear house!!! Everyone that walks in my cube has to be quiet not to scare the big one away and not to wipe their feet on my spearing rug!!!! Enjoy!!

[bassNspear]

lol ok les

[Fish Toys]

mnmuzzleloader where did you get that or did you do some photo editing?

[bassNspear]

THATS A LES KUBA PRINT

[Central Bassman]

That is a sweet print and Les does some good work. I have seen one of his were you can see under the ice and all the fish swimming around the spear hole.

[mnmuzzleloader]

I got that rug about 8 years ago at a Dark House association meeting that I attended in Waterville, I think I paid 30 bucks for it and there was no way that I am going to leave the boys rub their feet on that one so I thought I better take it to work and enjoy it when things get a little stress full in cube city!!!!

[bassNspear]

i have the print from him of the outside of the house, looking down the hole, and under the hole where the pike is swimming around the decoy.

I have alot of his prints, and i can tell you this, there awesome around the house to look at. He does some awesome work

[mnmuzzleloader]

He did some awesome paintings, I have Darkhouse Action, Darkhouse Finale and the other one that is the tradition one with all three surrounded by decoys and spears, he always did a great job on all of his paintings!!!

[bassNspear]

you got that right. I have others that are awesome as well. Deer hunting, and bass fishing. The guy is awesome with what he does.

hey all,

im new in the forums but have read ur posts in especially this forum as well as others

i was just wondering... do any of u guys know the story behind the darkhouse prints?

[fisherking01]

Welcome to FM. I had the opportunity to personally know Les Kouba, and am a friend of Randy Herschman, Les's Nephew. Les was a great outdoors enthusiast, and experienced all of the things he painted. His love for the outdoors really shines in his paintings. His unique style of touching the hearts of small groups of people like those spearing enthusiasts on this site are what makes his work so special to many of us.

Les is missed, but his work will live for a long time. Brent

Hey Stabin

I would like the welcome you to FM. There is alot of great people here that are alot of fun.

[stabin da pike]

I also had the chance to meet Randy Herschman about two years ago and got to talking about Kouba and some of his friends that grew up with him and live in my area. As it turns out i actually go up to canada fishing with one of his best buddies in the same group that he went with. Maybe ur familiar with the (forgive my spelling) geache's more specifically the one who goes by the name of Cutter.

anyway while i was talking with randy he told me the story behind the darkhouse series paintings and was just wondering if anyone else knew too.

Thanks for the welcome guys i hope to get some pics up and running soon and oh yeah nothings better than sticken a big tank in the stabin cabin.

[bassNspear]

Thats awesome that you were with people that were friends with him. The prints are amazing, i wish i could buy them all!!

One fun thing about the Les Kouba prints is there is supposed to be thirteen of one thing in each of his prints. Its kinda fun finding them.
