Okay if I edit your tale a little? Your boys were probably catching Bluegills or Skipjack Herring, Illinois shad won't bite on anything that you can stick on a hook. Now what ate them down to skeletons was most likely crawfish or crawdads as some call them. Muskrats mainly eat weeds.

OTOH, most ponds in Illinois are dammed streams or ravines. Muskrats tend to burrow and there goes the dam.

A lake where I used to hunt had a bunch of muskrats move in. They couldn't burrow so they built 57 huts out of weeds in the lake. Opening day of duck season and we never saw a rat. Tore some of the huts apart and all had ripped up rats in them. A pair of minks had moved into the lake and killed each and every rat.
