When I was trolling around on the intertubes a few weeks ago during a shift of standby in Mexico, I found a link to ShallowFish, a website/e-store dedicated to "gifts inspired by angling."
I would be lying that if I said I was casually browsing the site and stumbled upon some cool redfish art; redfish was the first species I clicked on. Within a few seconds, I found exactly what I was looking for:

I liked that print the best of the few featured on the page but I didn't want to rush to buy it & end up with buyer's remorse; $70 + shipping isn't something to scoff at, after all. I saved it to Instapaper (one of my favourite apps ever, btw) to wait it out & think it over.
Last night I popped on again to take a gander at it...and pulled the trigger.
I'm really looking forward to having it framed & on my wall
One other gyotaku print that caught my eye was one I cannot fathomably order until I catch one, but when I do, you better believe this badboy is getting shipped to Fredericton & hung:

Mat, why does your redfish look so sad?
Howard, I will answer that question with another question:
How would you feel to think you have a yummy meal, but instead be stabbed in the mouth with sharp metal, hauled around, then get slathered with paint & slapped against a canvas?
:)
I feel pity for the redfish. Just let him go with a smile.
Have fun,
