A Real Black Grouper - Gillznfinz Style

Mount This Fish Company is a show sponsor for the second season of Gillnfinz. Capt. Adam contacted me last month to create a true black grouper with their logo so they could use it in a point of sale display in a store in Charleston, SC. If you have never seen the show you need to. Its realife, real people, just plain ole getting it done, fishing show. For more info on their show visit them HERE

Dolphin Research Offshore Port Canaveral

Jen and I ventured offshore on Memorial Day with our good friend Eric Mays on his boat Fish Tales, to try and catch some Dolphin (mahi-mahi) so we could cast some new molds. We found the fish in 250' of water and proceeded to catch 9 of them. We also raised two sailfish. The ocean was incredibly beautiful especially after a week of constant rain.

Here is Jen with a small gaffer dolphin.

Hoff Productions Orders 3D Mako Shark For National Geographic

Hoff Productions, who is currently producing a show for National Geographic - Hooked Again: Monster Fish II, recently contacted us for a specific request. They needed a Mako Shark replica that could be filmed from all angles. We created a 61" 3D (viewable from all sides), you can see the mold on our website by clicking HERE, and we finished the shark with a matte, rough textured sealant, giving the replica the natural look as a real mako shark.
