Travis Swift Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I wanted to share a picture of my replica I got made and just got back of my 10+ pound rainbow from last fall. With a suggestion from Phil Lilley I chose Don Frank from KC to do it and I think he did just a marvelous job. Thanks again for the suggestion Phil. He did a great job with the orangish pink gill plates and fins. Pictures don't do it justice but I wanted to share. timinmo, Seth, dnj21 and 8 others 11

JestersHK Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 That is super awesome Travis! I'm pretty sure I got to see your fish before it was done lol. A thing of beauty. Don is doing my big brown for me as well and I can't wait to see it. A true artist indeed. Seth, Johnsfolly, Daryk Campbell Sr and 1 other 4
Travis Swift Posted April 12, 2019 Author Posted April 12, 2019 You kidding me DJ? How freaking cool is that? When did you take that picture? Wish I had known I woulda hit you up for a sneak peak. That's absolutely mine. Small small world man. JestersHK and Johnsfolly 2
jdmidwest Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 That fish looks stream bred. It seems to have all of its fins and is shaped like a trout that has lived its natural life in a stream.

JestersHK Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Our good friend on here Fishndoug lives pretty close by to Don's. He took that pic to show me some of the amazing work he was doing and to hold me over for when mine gets done. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it, but man small world lol.
