The annual Eelpout Festival was held this past weekend in Walker, Minnesota, something I mentioned in my last Great Northern Radio Show which we broadcast live from this little town on big Leech Lake. Eelpout are — to be blunt — ugly, bottom-feeding fish that taste good fried ifyou can get past their general appearance.
According to this TV news report, however, the fish at this year’s Eelpout Festival weren’t the only ugliness to be seen. Authorities had to answer 150 calls during the event, including a number of messy law enforcement concerns.
We have some exclusive photos from the scene:

Other than these unfortunate incidents, the annual Eelpout Festival was considered a rousing success by most humans in attendance.
