VALLEY CITY, N.D. — After a North Dakota fishing trip, Valley City native Shawn Grim often goes to his favorite hometown haunts like the Pizza Corner restaurant.Grim, who now lives in Osakis, Minn., had just rolled into town after a good walleye catch Sunday, Oct. 15.“I had this gorgeous, 22-inch walleye, which, you know what, that’s as big as you keep. Everything else goes back in,” Grim said. “A 4 1/2 pound walleye. It was a nice fish, and it’s big.”Outside of the pizza shop, Grim thought it would be a good photo opportunity.“I am holding this fish, getting ready for a picture, and all of a sudden it flip-flops down onto the street. Okay, not a big deal, and I go down to grab it, and boom, boom, boom, right into the drain,” Grim said.This sounds like a great fishing story, but was there proof?Area businesses had no security footage.
