Teeth marks on 20” walleye.

When I was filleting this 20” walleye I caught last night I noticed it had fresh teeth marks on it’s back. Like to see the fish that tried to eat it!

Sounds like a hungry muskie to me

Do you think it got bit when you were reeling it in?

[Kevin J Legg]

I don’t believe so. I’ve had many fish hit when reeling in another and you generally know it. They often hang on till you get them to the net and then let go of the fish.

Hey kevin... know this was posted a few weeks ago. However, i had a similar experience 2-3 years ago. Caught a 23” eye with huge jaw marks in it. Looked like a muskie T-boned the eye. When it tried to turn the fish to eat guessing it got away. It was awesome perspective to see just how large the mouth of a muskie is. It’s good to be the apex predator i guess.

Opening day this year we were fighting a 24" 6lb eye and it got crushed while fighting it.  We fought both fish for several minutes and eventually the walleye got loose and rocketted to surface and went airborne an easy 4 feet out if the water.  That walleye out fought every smallmouth I've ever hooked hands down.  The bite marks were wider than any tiger I've ever seen.
