Pretty freshly dead, if it was dead before the Eagle got it out of the pond. Dead fish don't bleed..... and it looks like it's not the first fish that was eaten at that spot! Eyes are bugged out and the tail looks like it is healing up from spawning.

Just think of it as one (and about 2.5#) less you have to worry about taking out this year.
