Decided to take the kids out one nice summer day in the early 80's for a boat ride in my 17 Mako. I took a few small spinning rods and decided to troll some.
I caught my first sail and decided to keep it to smoke.
I didn't want to just throw the rest away and I decided to try a head mount. I cleaned out all the meaty areas I could, injected it with formaldehyde, then set the head in resin and coated it several times. Got eye from local taxidermist and after I finished it he painted it for me. So I've had the mount for 30 plus years and its hanging on the wall on the back porch near the pool.
