Supreme taxidermy

A blank of "The Mad Snooker" Capt. Dave Pomerleau's unofficial state record snook


If you have trophy game you'd like to have mounted, Fins to Feathers Wildlife Art has some of the finest around.

Irv Karlhofer has made taxidermy a long-time hobby. If you've ever seen "Hooked on Fishing" with Bill Miller on CATCH-47, you'll see Miller speaking in front of one of Karlhofer's tables. It has two redfish mounted in a marine scene that includes blue crabs and whitebait.
Cost is $12 per inch for fish. Marine habitat is extra.

"The Mad Snooker" Capt. Dave Pomerleau had the above cast made of his unofficial state-record 44-pound, 11-ounce snook landed in Fort Myers in 1995. The picture is of the blank. Karlhofer adds the art. To see the snook, head to Discount Tackle on First Street where the snook is mounted.

"He does all my customer's taxidermy," said Pomerleau, whose Web site is www.madsnooker.com. "A lot of people catch big trophy snook with me and Irv mounts them up for them."
