Default Fish for my Friend

Since I have been laid up from foot surgery the past 2 weeks. I decided to carve some fish for a friend. He tournament fishes for Lake Trout on the Great Lakes here in Michigan... So I made him some fish to hang from the rear view mirror of his truck.
Made with,
1 split ring
6 inch chain used for holding keys
5 Barrel swivels clips #2
and 3 Bass Wood, Lake Trout 5" down to 4" long.

(Just hope the DNR does not catch him with under size fish)

That's a nice stringer of fish! It'll look good hanging in his truck!

Great gift for a fisherman. He always will have fish to show off. Come to think of it maybe I should make some of those for myself.

Nice work, great idea. After living in Whitehall the first 27 years of my life, I can appreciate fishing. I watch Michigan Out of Doors every week on the net and wish I could be on Lake Michigan fishing again. Thanks for the memories.
