Lot's of lost and founds posted recently so here's real fishy one. Wife and I were on our daily morning walk down the MMP on Morse this morning between O'Dell and LSL around 9-ish when she spotted what she thought was dead squirrel and did her usual "eeeewwwwww" but upon a second look it turned out it was a LARGE WHOLE FISH bleeding from it's gills. Was going to bring it to the L & F but decided that was a "stinky" idea. So if anyone dropped their uncooked fish dinner it's probably still on the MMP about 75 yards before the Stillwater gate heading North. Weather has been pretty cool so it's probably still edible.

We've seen a lot of strange stuff on that part of the Morse MMP over the last 5 years but this took the fish cake.

Might have been dropped by Osprey or Eagle, they haven't been advised about catch and release policy here.

Good point on the bird drop as well. Never crossed my mind. I had no idea how it could have got there.

I thought he was done flopping when I put him in the cooler.

They will try to carry a fish too big for them.

Supposedly, limit for osprey 4-5 lbs, eagles. 5-6 ... In Alaska I saw eagles routinely carrying fish I judged to be significantly larger. Also witnessed an eagle snatch a small dog off the bow of a boat.

This story sounds very fishy to me.

How far did the eagle get with the dog?

My guess is all the way back to her chicks. Eagles have to eat too. Sadly, owners learn the hard way to keep small pets very close if they don't want to lose them.😥

I have nothing to add, other than the thread is pretty entertaining.

Sounds like fish story to me. You know how the fish grows and weighs more each time the story told.

HAHA! God's honest truth! Cross my heart and hope to die! I should have taken a photo but it was kinda bloody. It wasn't there today so someone/thing had a good dinner.
