Isle, Minnesota: Mean Muskie and Walleye
Two big, nasty, toothy fiberglass fish, mounted on poles, with a platform for photo ops. The walleye appeared in 2006; it was such a success that the muskie soon followed. Well done.

If your travels bring you through Isle it will be pretty hard to miss the Angry Muskie and other sculptures near the visitor center and gas station. The muskie has a platform for taking pictures next to it easily. If you're collecting big fish of Minnesota and the Midwest, this one is a little out of the way, but worth it for the distinctive personality of the muskie.

This place is great! There are several other photo ops, all on the same property.

Not your usual friendly fish photo op! These guys are big and MEAN! There is a conveniently provided platform for picture taking.
