New Bluegills Painted!!!!

Post by Big Bass Man » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:22 pm

Here are several different bluegills that I caught over the summer and made baits out of. It surprizes me that just about every bluegill caught looked different in some way. Almost like Chameleons!!

Next is something very different painted. I have a friend and his best friend had a wreck and got killed last week. The guy was only 28 years old and loved to fish. He brought me one of his cranks to paint for him to have a memory of his friend that passed away. The guy was also a big dove and duck hunter. He asked if I could paint it in a grass camo with his name, birthday and death date on it. It was a lot to put on a small crank, but this is what I came up with. Do ya'll think it looks ok?

look great! I would fish those anytime. The tribute lure looks good, and I think they will be very happy with it in such a sad time. Sorry to hear for your loss and the loss for the family.
