I made the pattern off of a fishing guide drawing I saw. I am always on the look out for a good silhouette of fish that I could use for a pattern. I have used a photo, or traced around a dead fish or cast the fish and made a plaster or fiberglass replica to study. If I needed a study piece for a saltwater fish or a fish from a different area I have bought a reproduction from a taxidermy supply company to make a pattern off of. If all else fails I just say that the fish was sick and that is why it looks so bad. Thanks again everyone for all the nice comments!

LOL, I don't think you have to tell folks the fish was sick very often. Looks great to me.
