The giant fish has fallen and is now vertical. Still, a good place to stop for snacks. My fisherman husband says it's a bass, not a walleye.

Having fun fishing.
[Doug, 07/18/2015]The side of the fish is plastered with band and advertising stickers. But its accessibility is ideal for wacky photo ops!
Big fish at gas station. Stop and see...but only if you need gas or snacks.
[Kim Schutterle, 05/02/2013]The fish -- a big walleye -- was built in 1979 when the convenience store was a fishing gear shop. At first the fish was on the roof, but after a couple of years it was moved to its current spot. A popular photo-op is to park your car so that it looks as if you have a giant fish on the roof.
