That was my first thought. Big turtle.

Water Turkey(Cormorant) and then infection set in.

With bite on top I would say cormorant

Otter. They have a nasty habit of killing fish for fun. Eat a tiny bit off the rear and then leave them on or near the shore.

**Dirtymike** · 03-23-2015, 06:47 AM

Bird due to depth and shape of bite. Or you have a turtle with one heck of a moufff

This morning pond guy said otter or snapping turtle. Didn't even know we had otters here.

The bite area is nearly 1" thick and very clean edges.

What could bite a bass like this.
