    i went to a texas roadhouse which are ones in miami and clermont and it had some nice animal mounts but i took pics of these fish mounts in those restaurants they look like trouts and basses but they dont belong to a striped bass and rainbow trout at all so i dont know which species are they so i need help to tell me which three species of fish are that i found.

    Those horrible horrendous mounts are supposed to be from top to bottom: rainbow trout, brown trout, carp, and hybrid striped bass. I was in a Texas Roadhouse in Massachusetts over a month ago and they had same type of God awful garbage hanging up there too.

    There is another Roadhouse in Mass with a Carp " blank that was painted to look like a "Brook Trout " The average person wouldn't know the difference.

    The top one is what I call the Free Willy pose. I recently had a bass redo that had the exact spinal curvature.

    As Cecil mentioned, pretty tough to tell because they are done so poorly. But, disregarding the paint jobs I'm fairly certain the last two are actually a Buffalo and then a pure Striper. The latter I'm more certain about. Too elongated to be a Hybrid Striper. Or maybe they were TRYING to do a Sea Trout??? J/K, no soft dorsal. Crazy bad though! LOL! Pretty hard to be 100% with these poorly done fish!

    What in the name of .... are those tail fins???? That small scaled carp MIGHT be a Tench, but only if it was EVER a real fish!

    Whoever did those need shock treatments!o_O

    Sad thing about this is, we are the only ones that this affects negatively. Texas Roadhouse will make (or lose) the same amount of money, regardless of how those fish are painted!

    Some people actually like old badly mounted specimens.Takes them back to another time, especially if they are in an old rustic bar, gun shop, or eating place.
