Big Bass Man

Looks great!!

It doesn't affect namebrands or custom baits at all. Not sure on knockoffs, as I am not a fan of them.

Hey guys, Here is a link to Husky's Tutorial. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/12000-photo-finishing-foil-and-faux-finishes/ Getting your blending to match the baitfish is the most important thing. Just practice until you get what you like.

Awesome work Marty!!

Thanks for the kind words guys!! The shads and the gill are photofinished. Lots of trial, error and Practice Practice and more Practice to get where I am at with them Today!!! I have to give all the credit to my good friend Husky on TU for willingly sharing the tutorial with others. He is a great guy with tons of talent on lure building/painting. Jigfishin, You should have saw some of my early paintings!! Lol

I have been really busy and finally had time to post a few. School Of Shad Bluegill Brown Nose Perch Chartreuse Gill My daughter has been wanting me to paint a pink lure, Here she is... Sexy Sparkle

Nice work Ben!!

Nice ones!!

Very cool!! Looks like y'all had a great day.

Thanks Guys!! Painting those big swimbaits is not an easy task.

This is my first attemp at painted a swimbait this large. It is an 8" Reaction Strike Painted in Gizzard Shad. Also painted a couple of Bay Springs Spotted Bass on topwater baits. Had to paint it in a hanging position. Spotted Bass

Nice looking gill!!

Nice ones!!

Thanks guys!! I just hope she makes it to her full potential!! I tried a jig with a Rage Craw on the back, but didn't have any luck this time out. I have caught some nice ones on that combo before.

Getting two new PB'S in one day is awesome, Congrats!!

Awesome day for sure!!

Nice ones!!

Nice one!! Congrats on getting your new PB!!

Thanks guys!! Jigfishin is right. I caught both on a bait that I painted. The 9lber is now the biggest I have caught on something I painted. I wished I would have measured the 7lber. She has to be the fattest I have caught for her lenght. Thanks Jigfishin for the kind words friend!! Good luck with your fishing this year!!

Finally had the chance to get out and fish a liittle while. A friend called and wanted to know if I wanted to go for a while, I said Heck Yeah!! We both thought that it might be a little tough, with the front that went through Friday. Low temps in the 20's and high temps in the low 50's. The water temp was 52. Only managed two bites, but they were some pretty nice ones. My first catch was 7lbs and a few hours later caught a 9lber. 7 lbs Short and Fat 9 lbs

Thanks guys!! These were sent too me to paint and I have already mailed them back to the owner.

Nice looking baits Barry!!

Thanks Guys!! I too believe LSU will win this one also. I just hope there is a little more scoring this time!!

I am a huge college football fan and I always paint baits, who is playing in the championship game. I do these only as fun and not for sell. Well who are y'all taking in this one???? Here is a new Crappie Photofinish Bait that I made out of a crappie I caught earlier in the year. This is an old Heddon Hellbender that a guy wanted me to match back to the original color. He swears by the bait, calls it his Money Bait!!
