Cauliflower ear?

Was cauliflower ear common with the old-timers of catch?

Does a bear crap in the woods? ;)

Ray Steele, that pic doesn't do those ears justice though.

Leroy McGuirk was probably the cauliflower champ though. Wasn't much ear left.....

Thanks scuffler,

That's why I was curious...sometimes it's hard to tell from certain pictures.
