Title: | Negative - trout with catfish formerly lodged in throat |
Collections: | Faculty of Agriculture fonds |
Description: | A negative, taken by John Wallis, of the fish he and a friend discovered in Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods, in June 1946. A large trout was found with a ten-inch catfish lodged in its throat; Wallis surmises that, as the trout tried to swallow the catfish, the catfish's spines were driven into the sides of the trout's throat, causing the catfish to be stuck. In this photograph, according to Wallis, "the killer fish has been taken out of the trout and laid on the side of the trout. This gives some idea of its size, although its tail is more or less folded back, and, more particularly, of the length of the spines which can very clearly be seen against the white of the trout's belly." A three-page story, from which the above quote was taken, accompanies the photographs. |
