Mad River Outfitters in Arcata, CA may just be one of the coolest tackle shops around, but even they have some skeletons in the closet…like this sorry excuse for a brown mount. To their credit, this nasty beast isn’t displayed on the wall (anymore) but is instead piled on a junk shelf in the back room. I have to assume that this fish actually looked better than this when it was pulled from the water…because now it’s so ugly that it kinda reminds me of a “brown trout” that I “released” into the porcelain pond earlier this morning…
