strangest thing you pulled from a fish's belly

My funny story:

Took a buddy of mine fishing one morning a few years ago. He made a cast with a little paddle tail soft plastic swim bait. A bass hit it, he set the hook and fought it for a second, then his line broke off at the hook. I laughed and said I'll get him for ya and casted in the same spot. Sure enough it hit my lure, I set the hook and reeled it in.

Later that afternoon while cleaning the fish I cut this one open and wouldnt you know, theres his lure and hook. I laughed a little, then sent him this pic asking if he wanted his hook back



ETA: Please don't judge my terrible filleting skills. This was early on in my fishing days and my technique was far from perfect, and still is if I'm being honest.

Caught this bass on a popper and saw something moving in its belly. Cut it open and pulled out a live crawfish. Threw the crawfish back and kept the bass.

I once pulled partially decomposed 5" salamander out of the mouth/belly of a 7" brook trout...

Bleu Cheese Stuffed olive, pack of raw chicken wings, and a half digested sac a lait BEFORE he hit on my hot dog -- Catfish.

Ol boy was bellied up at the bar something fierce is the only explanation of how he still had any room in there for a shitty hot dog after a meal like that.

my first ones probably looked about like that as well

By the time I'm done, there is very little wasted meat, however when its time for a fish fry, its more like fish nuggets rather than fillets

Mais bruh thats pretty bad tho

Don't remember finding anything too cool in a fish. Seem to remember a jellyfish when I was a kid.

Found a squirrel in the belly of a 2 lb spotted bass once. Small squirrel but squirrel nonetheless.

Nothing too interesting. I cut into a redfish and the gut farted. I then pulled out a plastic shot cup. Fish must have had indigestion (really) from that blockage.
