Flick Ford 'Sailfish'
Flick Ford's watercolors are rendered in a unique technique that captures the perfection of the fish at the moment it was pulled from the water. A prime example of his mastery of this method is his latest fine art limited edition, Sailfish, which is featured in his upcoming book, Fish: 77 Great Fish of North America. This stunning celebration of this continent's great fish, mostly game fish, with a sprinkling of fun (pumpkin seed sunfish), history (shad), culinary delights (bluefish) is the ultimate gift book for fishermen of all stripes. These detailed, never before published portraits of fish, with text by the master of sport fishing, Dean Travis Clarke, combine to make an upscale guide for the naturalist, an aid to the angler, a tool for the educator and an enjoyable read for everyone. Part field guide, part angler's soul, Sailfish is the best catch of the season for sports fishermen and weekend anglers alike.

Flick Ford 'Tarpon'
Trophy Sized Art of Trophy Fish
There are two groups of life on this planet that understand just how beautiful that elusive scaled, slimy and eventually smelly creature is: other fish and fisherman. Well, do we have an art find for you.
Introducing Flick Ford, fisherman, painter, founder of a 1980s garage band, river rat, environmentalist … painter. "I'm not sure I was born to be a fisherman but I was born to a fishing family," explains the artist, who fishes more than 100 days a year in search of the perfect specimens.
"I've probably used most every kind of fishing method available to me. I've experienced days of second degree sunburn, rain induced hypothermia, nearly lost myself in a tornado storm in the middle of a lake and drifted helplessly in the current of a river. But I can truthfully say I have never had a bad day of fishing."
Familiar with their habitats, anatomy and color patterns, Flick hooks almost every fish he paints, although most are released shortly after. After landing a fish, he carefully measures it, and then traces its outline. Using taxonomic methods reminiscent of 19th century artist Stephen F. Denton, Ford photographs every inch of the fish so he can count the scales and include exactly the right number in his painting. For accuracy in color he relies on both his photographs and his artistic color memory. When possible, the fish are painted life size. The resulting paintings show the unadorned beauty of the living fish, with an unparalleled accuracy that has them nearly jumping off the wall.
Tarpon (megalops atlanticus) is a strong resister, especially if caught in deep water. Most catches of this primarily inshore fish are 40 to 50 pounds although the world record was a 243-pounder.

Tarpon (megalops atlanticus) is a strong resister, especially if caught in deep water. Most catches of this primarily inshore fish are 40 to 50 pounds although the world record was a 243-pounder. Bluefin Tuna (thunnus thynnus), the coveted "big game" built for speed, range from "footballs" of a few pounds to the world record of 1,496 pounds and nearly 12 feet in length.
