It’s been awhile since I’ve run into some really lousy taxidermy, but when I do it often comes in spurts. Such was the case in a little Nor Cal pizza joint the other night….when I lucked into these two fine specimen…on the same wall!
I was immediately torn as to which one to include in our always popular Taxidermy Gone Bad section, so I decided I’d let these two toads go at it in our first ever Steel Cage match. Check out the contenders and then vote for the winner below!
In the “here’s why you should get a fiberglass mount” corner, we have a large king salmon that looks like he may have had an unfortunate encounter with a concrete floor at one point…either that or he was mistaken for a piñata.

I swear I'm not a piñata
Up close, you can also see he’s got oily skin like a teenager!

Clearasil cleanser and a cotton ball is like not having oily skin at all!
Then in the “I paid how much for that mount?” corner, we have Ol’ Clefty, the Rainbow:

How did I ever swim with this belly and those fins??
Why you should never, ever kiss a pike!

What you get when you cross a trout with a piranha!
Who’s our winner?
