As simple & silly as that is It's also
creative & amusing.
I think you knocked that out of the park.
Brilliant.

I'd take those fish to some bait shops or places where fishing guys hang out...
you know that guy you see all the time, driving down the road with a truck, boat, and fishing gear that's worth more than my house? that guy is not broke...and he likes fish art. AND, if he's out for a day on the boat, chances are he's got a few hundred cash on him and he's probably had a few cold ones & is in a good mood, so he's s prime targets for the "impulse buy"...which is what tiki & art purchases are to many...spur of the moment. Put your fish in front of those dudes and I bet they'll be gone in no time.
Especially if you start puttin' trout, redfish & snook markings on 'em...

well, looking at them they don't have the same "beefy" appearance as the swiss pfeils, but I can tell you I've been beating the shit out of that same set for 2 years now & they work great...
one of the nice things about flexy's is the price. I have one Pfeil gouge that was more expensive than that whole set of flexys...
now you just have to keep 'em sharpened...
