ORIGINAL Gyotaku piece.
Size: Approximately 35" x 45"
This 150 lb Marlin Tail was printed from my friend Brianʻs amazing Marlin catch. He caught this huge fish on a solo mission in his 12ʻ boat!   I have had the pleasure of watching Brian grow up and learn how to be an amazing fisherman from his father.  He often takes his small boat out many miles from shore and brings back dinner!  Blue Marlin (Makaira mazara) are one of the top game fish sought after by anglers. They can often be found near schools of tuna feeding on them. Many fisherman use live tuna as bait, but this beast was caught with only a lure. It was my honor and pleasure to be able to create this piece for brian and to celebrate this fish and this catch!
