One person told me that this fish was a Salmon. Another said it was a Silver Fish. But I am partial to the third cowboy from Texas, who seem to really know. He said it was a "Texas Minnow" used to catch small Texas Trout." Any choice of answers you like is okay with me. It is about 4'ft long. Pretty good condition for it's age. The perfect gift for that special Texan or that cowboy fisherman. Would look good in any log cabin home or western great room.
