Fishing Photos On Canvas

I got a chance to meet the guy over at EASY CANVAS PRINTS.COM... After a small group of emails and some searching through the archives of fish pics, I settled on a recent one of me. Fishing solo on my only 30Th birthday... The texture of the print is almost freaky! It looks and feels like a fish.
I landed this rainbow with my 10 ft stick and after learning that I was fresh out of 6x and only had 12 inches of 5x I built my whole leader out of 7x... I remember standing on river left and hooking this fish just up stream from me, up tight to the bank on my side... The fish made an aggressive run and headed down for a rock where it wrapped me up and stuck me good... I made quick work out of getting the line free without loosing the fish. when the fish hit the net the fly was detached from my rig with a 4 inch piece of 7x still tied to the eye... Telling me that the rock cut nearly through it but the soft tip on the nymph stick saved the show. It wasn't a monster but it did have some shoulders...
If you get a chance head on over to Easy Canvas Prints and see about getting your Photos On Canvas.

Be watching your dashboard for the next few days, I'll be throwing up pretty neat video of some truly big trout in their natural realm.

Very cool photo...and on 7x. Dang. But you've got to make due, and you did. Nice! Easy Canvas Prints is a great idea...I've been hearing alot about the company recently. I'll have to look through some of my photos. And, I'm looking forward to the video. :)
