    I’m just gonna put this out there:
    You could make a living off making fish sculptures. Like someone would send you the length and girth and photos of their pb bass, panfish, etc and you would make a detailed sculpture of it for a couple hundred bucks. This way they get a really cool way to remember their fish, the fish gets to live, and you can support yourself even more from the sale and a UA-cam video.

    Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

    That was awesome. Such a pleasure to watch. I got a quick sunfish story. Many years ago I was fishing Lake Nockamixon (in Pennsylvania). I caught a nice size sunny on a worm using my ultralight rig. As I’m pulling it out of the water I notice something very strange. It looked like a long parasite was attached to the bottom of its jaw. Then I got a closer look at it and was shocked. There was a perfectly symmetrical hole under the jawline that went clear into the cavity of its mouth. That wasn’t a parasite, it was its tongue sticking out of the hole. The tongue was very long and overdeveloped and, as I said, coming out of the hole and not it’s mouth. The hole was too perfect to be from an injury so it was born that way. I left my camera phone in the car and regret not running back to get it. It was fat and healthy and I gently unhooked and released it. Like I said, I wished I took a picture. Survival of the strangest.
