I need some ideas for a fishing theme funeral bouquet

Question

My grandfather past away just about a week ago. His funeral is coming up in about a couple of weeks. One of his passions were deep sea fishing off of his boat. Instead of the traditional floral bouquets, I wanted to do one as a fishing theme with some flowers. Maybe a small boat along with a fishing rod and reel or maybe with some crafted fishes on it. Please let me know on any great ideas as the funeral is in a couple of weeks.

Answer 1

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Don't worry he's fine. You will see him again.

Here is my idea: Get a regular bouquet and disperse his favorite lures through the flowers, (wire them to the stems of the flowers). Lures come in a variety of colors. It would be unique and get the message across  without being gaudy or tacky.

Hope this helps?  

Answer 2

Sorry for your loss. Depending on the type of deep sea fishing, how about a leaping marlin from the water, if he didn't fish for species like marlin how about a big halibut,  small boat rod and large reel with line and hook would also look great. Also did he fly fish? if so a large traditional wet fly would look great. Ive starred this question in the hope that some one else will be able to give you some better suggestions than me. This may give you an idea of fish to use.
