Wood Carved Fish... neat

[landon410]

ran into this old couple at a fish and game expo, they had a table there and this was their business
For Sale | Wood Carvings by Klingers

some of them were NICE
the walleye i wanted to buy but didnt have the cash on me
the cats were just ok, but some of them were really really nice

why not just catch the fish and have it mounted?

These will last longer

Because those aren't mountable size. Those are edible size.

Except the bass. I'd don't keep bass to eat. Those fellers would get pitched back.

these really were cool to look at, to think about how much detail was put into them by hand
it was impressive

 

[Red_Alert]

Makes you wonder how they can make any money at it? They can't be carving and painting those things in a day.

they are retired and i think its a hobby / part time job

Holy crap, those are awesome. And yes, I'm sure they do it purely for the enjoyment of it, the time they put in those would equal about pennies/hr for wages.

not a huge fan of the catfish, but the bluegill and walleye i saw in person were really nice

Those are beautiful. My grandpa did things like that back when he retired.
