Brett Wingfield - Fish Brett also joins us from our northern neighboring state, where he works as an instructor and taxidermist at Northwest Iowa School of Taxidermy in Spirit Lake, IA.

He is very good at teaching and explaining how to make our fish mounts better. He’s also a major player in competitions, winning Breakthrough, National Champion, Second in World, and Best in World titles.
