Taxidermy Murray cod trophy

We can only guess this trophy hails back to c1970. We do know it's ex Clubhouse Hotel, Yass, NSW. Taxidermy head of what was a large (39 kilos as pictured) Murray Cod.

We speculate that this fella was probably taken from the Burrinjuck Dam, the nearest large body of fresh water to Yass. Whether Messrs Dooley, Condon, Howard and Willoughby had to take turns to reel this one in, we can only guess. But it clearly resulted in a win. Will look great in a Mancave!
