Hi all,

Last winter I found myself looking for what the Ottawa Walleyes are eating and discovered the following....

Perch....

It's amazing what one fish will eat. Last summer I filleted a walleye that was 19" and it had 5 small minnows plus a 7" walleye in it's stomach. I also filleted a bass one year(gill hooked it, had to keep it ) and when I cut it open it had 5 crawfish in it plus it hit my tube. Can you imagine how much they eat in a year

Always interested to see whats been on the menu if i keep fish...

Have caught a 10lb pike threw the ice that had 3 8"perch in its gut
Rainbows and Browns that you couldn't fit another shiner in and still smash a roe bag...

My son also gets a kick out of it.... Always helps with the cleaning and the forensic examination...

That walleye probably chowed the news paper by accident with the great looking Nanaimo bars showing up at a pretty good price.

BIG~~~~~~~~~~~~~off to eat'

It would seem the Cat doesn't digest as easy..Must be that leathery skin.

Alway's a good idea to find out what there chowing down on ... I never knew that Walleye ate Catfish

(Big Jim) M&M's put out some pretty good fudge brownies also Them there vitals is good eatin

Always interesting to see what the are feeding on. That last one looks more like a ling or mudpuppy by the shape of the tail?

I only fish wally's early season and they are always full of perch, cept last year they were stuffed!!!! with white dragonfly nymphs.

Think I'll keep a few muskies next year for closer inspection Kidding

Might be a puppy, kinda looks like some legs at the back end.

MMMMMMMM, Nanaimo bars. I love them.

Not very discriminating, ...are they? .......yuck

I was thinking ling also. It could be a mudpuppy and have its legs tucked in.

We caught dozens of big mudpuppies last year in the shack. We measured one in at 13" Eating champs and minnows.

Thx for posting those pics....I always find it neat to see what they are snaking on.

HI CRAWLER
