Otter eat pretty big fish, found this largemouth lower jaw this morning.

I was cold-calling ponds last summer and caught a couple bucket-mouths like that. Then one broke my line.

Any animal which can eat a snapping turtle twice as big as they are can eat whatever they want.

I knew a guy who had a well stocked pond in South East, Ohio, who had his pond cleared out of larger fish by a family of otter.

Unfortunately happens here yearly.

Save the otter...they're so lovely to watch... as they annihilate everything in the waterway.

One of my favorite animals to trap.

Lol, yeah where this pond is I have a 2 otter limit (state dnr) halfway there maybe done by tomorrow, 1 mile away I can catch up to 10 (different county/zone).

They like muskrats as well

Otters are one of my favorites, if not my favorite to trap

Had a half-eaten muskrat in a 110 last year in mid November. It was dragged up under the bank into a rat bank den, so it wasn’t raccoon, opossum, or raptor. I always assumed otter or the biggest mink ever

Otters are rad!!! Feisty buggers

Can tackle a pretty good sized catfish as well.

Was likely a mink as it was only partly eaten.

I knew a guy in S Central Mo who had a well stocked pond that had his cleaned out by the neighbors with nets.

I ran into a fellow trapper a couple years ago at Moraine State Park near Butler, Pa. He pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of a 40” musky, laying on the bank, that was eaten by an otter. The pic was took right where we were standing. I’d have paid good money to see that battle.

Had about a 12 pound flathead on a jig pole destroyed by otters summer before last. They went around it in a corkscrew fashion from tail to head and ate the cheeks out of it as well

I got a call a week ago from a guy who has a pond on his property with crappies and sunfish. He said otters have nearly wiped the fish out. Asked me to come and trap them. Pond is completely frozen over now. Told him he will have to wait until next fall when season opens.
