Thank you all for your kind comments :)

Zerostreet, I'm not a real big fish fan so I didn't eat it. I know fish is good for you, but only if it's baked or poached and then it doesn't taste all that great. You can fry it, but then it's not good for you any more and I just as soon eat fried pork instead. Actually, it was going to be several days until the trashman cometh, so I tossed it in the canal and it washed into the wheat field next door - good fertilizer! :lol:

Bead, I would like to find something with more prominent scales but we don't have any fish markets here - my only choices were tilapia and trout (which has no scales)

Robb, brain creases are a good thing, glad to see you stop by.

Cass, GMAN was doing Gyotaku a few years back here on TC and it looks like he was getting pretty good prices for them too.

Van, I didn't have any red oxide laying around (I guess I could have scaped some off my old truck) so I went with a red glaze wash. I should have done something different with the eye before I put the clear glaze over, I'm afraid it's too late now

I'm too new around here to fully understand the link between TC and Lampreys (maybe one of the old-timers can explain it to us?) but I thought I would pay it a little homage.
