Was out "working" on the Des Moines River down by Keosauqua a few days ago. A big walleye rolled up and I naturally netted it and threw it in the live tank. When I pulled it out of the tank we noticed this 10 INCH flathead stuck in its mouth, tail first! That is pretty crazy. What is crazier is that it was still alive and swam off! The walleye was pretty emaciated and my guess is that the flathead had been stuck in there with it's fins up for at least a week or so. As you can see the skin is all gone and a lot of the muscle had been digested as well. The tail was almost gone also. Pretty cool stuff. The walleye measured 24 inches. I hope the walleye remembers one thing when eating the rest of his meals... head first causes a lot less problems!!
