Golden Tile Folk Fish T-Shirt

Golden Tilefish T-Shirt | Deep Drop Fishing Shirt | Original Wood-Carved Fish Art

From the deep to the carving bench to wearable art.

The Golden Tile Folk Fish T-Shirt celebrates one of the most distinctive catches in offshore fishing—the golden tilefish—and the anglers willing to send a bait hundreds of feet down to find them.

This isn’t another generic fishing graphic.

The artwork featured on this shirt originates from an actual wood-carved and hand-painted golden tilefish created by artist Jason Smith of Morrow, Ohio.

Jason first carves the fish from wood by hand, then individually paints it to capture the brilliant colors, markings, shape, and character of the species. That original three-dimensional Folk Fish carving is then transformed into the detailed apparel artwork featured on the shirt.

The result is original fish art made for people who know what it means to fish deep.

MADE FOR THE DEEP DROP

Golden tilefish live where most fishermen never see the bottom.

Found along the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope, golden tilefish inhabit deep water and are commonly associated with soft mud and sand bottoms, submarine canyons, and burrows.

For recreational anglers, that means one thing:

Deep dropping.

Heavy weights. Long drops. Electric or conventional reels. Watching the depth finder. Waiting for the rig to finally reach bottom—and then feeling that bite hundreds of feet below the boat.

The Golden Tile Folk Fish shirt was made for anglers who understand that sometimes the best fishing starts a long way down.

Whether you’re deep dropping for golden tilefish, blueline tilefish, snowy grouper, barrelfish, wreckfish, or other deepwater species, this shirt belongs on the boat.

THE GOLDEN TILE

Golden tilefish are unmistakable.

Their striking coloration and unusual appearance make them one of the most recognizable fish brought up from deep water—and one of those species that looks almost too colorful to have come from hundreds of feet beneath the boat.

The larger Golden Tile Folk Fish artwork on the back showcases the character of Jason’s original hand-carved and painted fish, while subtle front chest branding keeps the front clean and classic.

Wear it offshore, around the marina, at fishing camp, or while telling your buddies exactly how deep you had to drop to catch dinner.
