"A newly found fossil links fish to land-lubbers"
Yeh, that's me. I hooked a walleye, pulled it through the hole in the ice, it did a back-flip, went back down into the hole and got away.
It was this big..............................................(x 10 plus more) and was a state record fish.
I had pictures but the wife cleaned out the closet.
