BIG smallie

[Paul Czarnecki]

Not a "live fish" but I thought I would share a few pics of a smallmouth I recently completed for a client. It was 22 inches and weighed 5 1/2 pounds! Taken off Erie, PA.

Capt. Paul, nice fish and beautiful mount as well. You did a good job on it. I'm plannnig on attending the LOTSA event this weekend. Will you have on hand any of the 11" double pearl fishscale flashers from Siggs? Would like to purcahse a couple if so. Thanks-Duane

[Paul Czarnecki]

Thanks for the compliments on the bass. It was a nice fish to work on.

No 11 inchers Duane---just the 8's. But you can order them off the website.

From one artisan to another.....WOW Paul, fantastic job!!

Beautiful work Paul.

I know who I'm calling when I finally decide to get one mounted!

Capt. Paul, thanks for the heads up on that. I just ordered a few of the 11" off their site, along with some other must haves. I just can't let the wife see that bill. Would you happen to have any pics from the salmon you have done? I have heard very good reports on your work ( which is evidenced above) and would like to see a salmon mount, if you have one available. I take a number of new people thru the years to the Oak, and have taken targets that they want mounted to the local taxidermist at Kendall. You probably know who I mean. Which leads me to ask, do you have a drop off or even receive fish for mounting while you're at the Oak?-Thanks, Duane

Beauty of a job Paul, Very nice colors and finish on that SMB!!

Awesome job Paul, it actually looks like it's alive and not like most mounts i see .

Where is your shop & do you have a web site, after seeing that i would go to you in a second

Here's a few pics of some recent salmon and steelhead mounts---reproduction as well as skin mounts. I do have a freezer at the Oak for the fish that I take in so that is not an issue. For those interested, my website is www.tristatetaxidermy.com. I will have a nice brown trout piece that won a bunch of awards last year at my booth at the LOTSA show this weekend. Stop by and say HI! How's that for a shameless plug..

Nice job on all of them Paul.

Paul, very nice mounts on the fish. Beautiful paint job. I'm sure that I can throw a few targets your way. It will make it much easier knowing you will accept them at the Oak. Never knew that, but I guess I never asked either. Thanks for the followup.See you at the LOTSA event this weekend- Duane

[Diversion]
