    little bones is a sign of a poorly filleted fish ... my dad had done so many in his life that there were almost never any bones. Unfortunately, even though I watched him many times, I didn't really learn his technique.

    That's amazing! The fish is so pretty and the border sets it off perfectly.

    Beautiful PP walleye and lovely story. My DH is a fisherman also, though mostly trout. You did an amazing job with your colors, the execution and quilting. Definitely "wall worthy".

    Your wild fish is fantastic. It reminded me of one my mother in law did with plastic canvas she was very good.

    Wonderful work! For me, it was fishing with my Dad for perch and walleye at Drummon Island.
