загадка дня

I recently received this query ... any ideas?
"I recently had a nice Russian family move in near my home. We haven't spoken because of a language barrier. I noticed, not long ago, that they have heads of muskie fish nailed to posts around their property. I have spent hours trying to find out why."
My first guess was that they were drying vobla... but the heads only? Any folkloric significance?
может, в Штатах русские мутируют?
ой, и да, просветите меня, что такое вобла. это как таранька, но обезжиренная?
