    I was really stoked to see Martin Simpson, a fellow Kiwi, recently featured as Midcurrent’s artist.
    I was lucky enough to get a really good Bone in the Cook Islands last year and had Martin paint a life size replica for me.

    Martin is a great angler and has been all over the back country in NZ.
    Its great that we have so many options with our lifetime fish without getting a skin mount!

    Simply awesome Simon! What a great way to remember a fish for a life time!

    Where you going to hang it? Fish cottage, home, or office?

    What sort of money does your mate charge to do one ??

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.

    He’s actually very reasonable DA.
    I think if you contact him directly, he will quote you. I didn’t realise it at the time but he also does fish in oils on canvas. (Similar pricing)
    Its in the vicinity of 1800 NZ pesos?
    I’m hoping to save up for him to do a steelhead I caught in Alaska! 🙂
    Want to buy any reels?? ;D ;D

    Will definitely post a picture Cameron, thanks. I’ll try to take some high res images of the detailing before I get it framed. Its currently still wrapped up for transporting.. and getting it past the “Major Sponsor, SWMBO”

    I want to frame it at home Joel but it might look best in the cottage. I spend so much time down there anyway! 😉 ;D
