I'm not sure a blue heron could lift a 26" walleye.

The last issue of PB had a chart showing approx. weights for a 26" walleye, but I don't have the issue with me.

A lot of larger fish who have tangled with herons have the tell-tale puncture wound or slash wound on the top of their heads.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
