A new website called “Aquatic Predators” lets people discuss aquatic predators from around the world. Animals already featured are as diverse as the great white shark and the African snakehead. Entries native to the Great Lakes, such as the largemouth bass and brown trout, seem rather tame in comparison.

Most threads profile a creature and its living, eating and breeding habits.

What’s your nominee for the most fearsome Great Lakes aquatic predator?

  1. FYI…Brown Trout are NOT native to the Great Lakes. Lake Trout are the native top predator of the lakes.

  2. the Gobi. It is small, but has terrible spines and is basically good for nothing except proliferating, out-eating all the native fish and destroying the ecosystem.

  3. I’d vote for Great Lakes strain spotted muskies or Chinook salmon. Both are large eating machines!
