My favorite Jim Harrison poem begins:
I want to die in the saddle. An enemy of civilization
I want to walk around in the woods, fish and drink.
Every couplet thereafter ends in variations on fishing and drinking, a veritable catalog of the sportsman's obsession. I didn't have Harrison specifically in mind when I made this fish, but what could be better than combining beer and fishing to make art?
This funky, folk art styled fish makes a great Father's Day gift. Hang it above the fireplace at your summer cabin, or in the kitchen above the grill. It wouldn't be half bad as a trophy for a fishing contest either.
