Double Duty Christmas Salmon

My ol pal T-Man, who despite the fact he lives in Florida, still has an excellent eye for sad-looking salmonid mounts, sent in this dandy to be added to our ever-growing collection of Taxidermy Gone Bad.

He says the fish is a rare Christmas King of the Northeast, known not necessarily for the time of year in which they run, but instead for their tendency to bite anything that looks remotely like a Christmas ornament (I hear white is a hot color!).

This actually could be a historical moment here at fishwithjd.com. This fish may just be the first-ever Taxidermy Gone Bad/Smoker of the Year Contest entry!
