"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" What a gift. It could not be any better. Kathy says it looks awsome and never dreamed it would be soooo nice. It is perfect. it is absolutely gorgeous. We picked it up form the frame shop Saturday and have been admiring it since. One of our son-in-laws is a bit of an artist and was truly amazed by the exquisite detail. I told him you said there were 6,300 sacles-- he said, "no doubt!" The frame shop wants to display it in their window but kathy and I want it in our home for the holidays and then let them show for a few weeks. Our prayers are with you and your family for the holiday season.

 Hi Curt, I gave my wife the framed bonito portrait this morning for Christmas and she was absolutely thrilled!  She could not get over how beautiful it is, and it was a big surprise!  The frame that I found at my local frame shop has the appearance of driftwood with a dark blue tint.  It was perfect for the colors in the fish.

 Attached is a photo of the framed portrait.  If I can convince her to let me photograph her with the fish, I'll send that along at some point. Thanks again for helping me make this a special Christmas for my wife. Hope you are having a happy holiday. Bill 12/25/09

 Trophy Bonito with the lure that caught him.

 Merideth West's husband and father caught two fantastic trophy fish with artwork purchased for their fathers' day gift 2010, a Sail that looks like a record.... and great King Mackerel. NIce to know some wives and daughters don't buy ties!

 My wife gave me the artwork for father's day. It is beautiful. I can't believe how life like it is. It is a gift I will cherish forever.

Will Dillard's parents wanted to give him a one-of-a-kind surprise, so they borrowed photos of  Will catching and releasing this giant 106" Trophy Sailfish. A You-Catch-We-Sketch  original "fish Portrait" was under Will's Christmas tree in 2010.   Congratulation to Will and thanks for returning this magnificent creature to the sea. We salute will's parents for a creative way to make this lifetime memory  beautiful and permanent.
