The DNR stocks a man-made pond with several varieties of fish found in Minnesotan lakes. Some are very little (minnows), some are really freakin’ big and scary (northerns, muskies). My first thought upon seeing this was, “Hm…how do they stop the bigger fish from eating all the little fish?” and a few minutes of watching them in motion answered this question: they don’t. Everything is just chowing down on everything else. It’s a total feeding frenzy with a bunch of little kids watching in awe - here’s a little live-action Planet Earth for you, you sticky fingered brat. Stop throwing nickels at a fish that probably weighs more than you.
So on Labor Day are you stuck with a few giant, survival of the fittest fish throwing down Battle Royale style? Do we get to eat the losers? I’d really love to know what happens to the fish after the State Fair…can one of you be my Minnesotan Holden Caufield?
