I saw this laying on shore and was curious. I knew from the pink color it was "meaty"...

As I got closer the shape told me it was a good sized walleye.
So I got off the boat and found this.

I tore the gills open to reveal the fish inside.

My fishing partner kept the boat from smacking into the rocks by pegging it securely with the new 12' Talon.

There were two huge mink running around in that area - I figure they ate the eggs/guts and a good portion of the meat.
But who knows. Almost any critter would I suspect. Skunk, fox, coon, etc.
