Beauty, it’s been said, is in the eye of the beholder. And while we approach art with our individual tastes and expectations, certain pieces strike a chord deep within, evoking the raw power and timeless beauty of bluewater fishing. Art is transcendental, which is why nearly every passionate angler will own at least a few fishy pieces, stoking memories of time spent pursuing nature’s most powerful game fish. Looking Back, by artist Dave Martin, was our Facebook Readers’ Choice winner this year. Check out the top 25 in our fan voting.
