Laides and gentlemen, today we take a look at a very different side of the bass fishing universe that lies somewhere between product development and art. That’s because today, we are lucky enough to be joined by my favorite lure painter and replica mount taxidermist, Blake Paff of Dark Corner Custom Crankbaits and Dark Corner Fish Replicas, where we get a behind the scenes look at what actually goes into creating some of the most stunning paint jobs and mounts in the business.
