Make sure the lid is tight or your bait will get away.

I just completed this illustration for the fish story I’m working on. The large mouth bass studies were for the same project. The media on this one is watercolor, and pen and ink. It was an easy one to reference, since all I had to do is revisit my childhood. I hope you like it.
