Guidofisherman Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 This poor fish still had enough left in it to hit a fly not long after it had been attacked itself. My guess is an otter as the teeth marks suggest on the bottom of the fish. The other side of the fish had another round gash with a few nail holes in its side with lots of bruising. Nature's "preditor/prey" relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) That's going to be a giant otter with teeth marks like that! I'd guess big laker/pike Edited September 9, 2013 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Did it make legal size so you could put it out of its misery? It is amazing that it still took a fly with all that damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish do not feel pain, so it may have healed and carried on business as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess big laker/pike i've seen otters over 25 lbs. otter is a pretty good hypothesis IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukluk Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Was me........but I realized it was not cooked .....so I declined. LOL All kidding aside. Just wondering if it was a turtle. Appears to have been struck from beneath. Wound appears to be "v" shaped similar to a turtles mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
