Yes I agree it was probably a Bird of some sort the dropped it. I’m lucky enough to to live on the river. When I’m not in Florida and I have had trout dropped on my driveway before with a couple puncture holes in it I believe from Claws. I have also found turkey eggs on my driveway, I think they were from a turkey.
3 pounds would’ve been enough for a fish fry

Ahhh, the fish that got away. I would have sworn it was a 10#er.

My first thought too

Well, they obviously did know the rules. That's why they released it. Their release aim was off a little and missed the nearest swimming pool.

We found one about the same size in our yard one morning

No fish tail here. Back in the 80's while living in Leesburg, I had a knock on my door with this fellow holding a fish in one hand. He told me he needed someone to witness the hole in the windshield of his car. I walked out to see his windshield was indeed smashed from this fish.He said his wife would never believe him. It was a nice bass.

Catch and release is suggested not mandatory per the the fishing section of the villages.gov

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.

The real "fishy" story is why are so many subjects so lightweight lately?

Possibly because when the repartee gets a bit "pointed", or the participants get a bit strong or enthusiastic in their comments, the thread gets closed even though the participation is still high, showing people want to participate. Popular, if not loved, threads get closed while threads with little or no posts become Yesterdays Hot Topics. Go figure!😑

Thanks, I agree.

Gator probably dropped it.

Low calorie flying fish diet?

The image in my mind is peacefully walking along the trail and having a fish fall on my head.
