RoeBaggin Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Think again. Predatory fish have huge appetites, like this walleye I brought back from a trip to Buckhorn. I estimate the fish at close to five pounds based on her girth. In all actuality the fish was a four pounder with a pound of meat in his belly. These pumpkin seeds probably didn't even see it coming.

little cleo Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That's awesome. I always cut open the stomachs of the bigger fish I catch to see what's been on the menu lately. I cleaned a 4 lb pike last winter while ice fishing. It had an 8 inch burbot in its stomach! Weird! My first encounter with this fish and it was out of the stomach of a pike.

RoeBaggin Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Checking the stomach of a fish should be practiced by everyone. That way you get a good idea of what to use, the size of the lure and also the colors of lures to use. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Cool pic RB. Enjoy the meal. I once pulled out a mouse out of a walleye/pickeral caught in the K-lakes. Guess they will eat just about any thing that moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pike007 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Now comes to mind, i think i found a mouse in big largemouth, guessing either the mice fall in the water or walk along weedy bays along reeds and lillypads. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik.T. Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I was two hours north of thunder bay on a fishing/resort type place and near the end of that trip I caught a small walleye (about a pound) then as I was bringing it up a pike took a chomp out of it and my mom netted them both.
