Cosmetic surgery for fish could mean an extra Sage for an unscrupulous fellow

The idea has tremendous potential for us coarse fishermen. The absence of prying eyes will allow us to add prosthetics, paint, and minor cosmetic upgrades like fangs or pincers.
Throw a monstrous shark fin on the top, airbrush the beast with the signature camouflage of the Great White shark – then release him after the anesthetic and super glue dries …
… just above the interlopers in your riffle, naturally.
Assist the subterfuge with a panic call from the safety of the shoreline – pointing at the three square feet of gray painted shark fin headed in his direction – and watch the ensuing rout.
You may even get a couple of free fly rods after you recover them downstream …
“Th-th-thanks, if you hadn’t yelled, the SOB might of ate me … I thought they were only in sa-salt water?”
“Naw, once the Salmon were all gone – the bastards have been coming here for years… Get’s really bad around dusk, friend of mine lost his Lab just last week …”
“Shame about your rod … looked like a “Tom Morgan” Winston from here …”
