Who or what is killing the bass in Green Lake?

Fishing guide Jason Dudek pulled a dead bass with what looked like several knife wounds out of Green Lake in Spicer, Minn. Several more keeper-sized smallmouths were found floating in the lake over the past month, all with the same strange wounds.

On any other lake, in any other part of the country, a handful of dead fish probably wouldn't raise eyebrows. But because it was this lake, Dudek and other anglers immediately feared that a long-simmering war was back.
 

"I'm not sure why it's come back," said Dudek, who posted his suspicions in a video on Facebook. "But someone is slicing and killing bass again. It's such a waste."

But the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) doesn't believe that Green Lake's bass were intentionally killed this time around, as they were in the early 2000s by walleye fishermen upset over the prevalence of bass.

The fish may have been killed by something else, something that could be lurking in the live wells of the bass fishermen's own boats.
