Here is a fish that I carved from basswood to look like one of the fishes in the "art of the sea of thieves" book
And one on page 191
Some of the fish on page 191 were used in the game before fishing came about and some were introduced for fishing ( the pondie picture is a spot on profile of the game fish, the splashtail is recognizable).
Other names I called this fish as I was carving it were "carrot fish" and "Skittle fish" ( after the rainbow colored candy). I have another one on my work table and will paint it a different color
