This king fish was caught while Fishing out of St. Petersburg, Florida by my friend. The Greenbacks were given to me by a local Fishing guide.
Gyotaku prints are a unique, artisanal form of documenting and remembering a prized catch that began in Japan in the mid-1800's. They are a wonderful physical representation of a cherished memory you had while catching or hunting these beautiful fish. Gyotaku prints make great talking points and are perfect starters for wild fish tales.
