Northwest Wisconsin. Dropped from an ospray nest.
The only fish I can think of that might’ve dropped the Bic is a smoked haddock.

I don’t think this is a scale, it looks an awful lot like an otolith, which is a calcium carbonate buildup from inside a fishes head. These are often used by biologists to age a fish similar to counting rings on a tree.
I still don’t know what species would have one shaped like that but it may help you to look in better places to identify it.
It has a socket at the left side. Like a ball in socket joint.
The only one I can think of that is capable of that much inflation is a puffer fish.

Stupidly hard to tell.
