Big Fish - Found Not Caught

Okay. Here's my disclaimer: the following post may NOT be too pleasing or pretty to all readers! Photos include a skeleton and dead fish up close and personal! ... these fish were found by two of my daughters on Manchaug Pond - cause of death unknown.

A pickerel I believe - big but not a champion!






This skeleton found by my youngest while she explored the old causeway in the spring. Definitely an exciting find for a young scientist!




Another daughter brought this bass home in early August. She could not believe the size of it!





The gash on the side... do you think a prop got it once it was dead and floating belly up?
