Try to come up with a scenario where a bull red could encounter a baby pacifier.



My daughter threw one overboard one time. If I'm not mistaken it was the first time she was on the boat. My wife was holding her and she just popped it out and baseball tossed it while we were underway.

Plenty of soft plastics in bass why you should never throw baits overboard.

I have to claim that's happened to me also years ago. But I haven't cleaned a bass in 35 years.

Caught several channel cats a couple years ago in the Miss. River and when I cleaned them, they were chock full of zebra mussels.

Each fish must have had better than 1 lb. of the shells in their gut. First time I had more weight going in the trash than in the freezer.

My conclusion from this thread is fish will eat anything except the bait I throw at them.

Back when I was a teenager I worked on my grandfathers farm. We had a huge lake on the farm. One summer I was out on the bush hog and saw in the middle of the lake A large bass flopping around in the middle of the lake. I was curious so I strip down to my underwear and jumped in the lake and went and retrieved the bass. It apparently had tried to swallow a pretty large brim and half the Brim’s body was sticking out of his stomach. Apparently the bass had bit off more than it could chew.

Going to houseboat in Terrebonne and guys across bayou were cleaning rabbits. Next day caught a nice ~20lb blue cat on a jug line with a rabbit’s foot in its belly. Foot was not lucky for the rabbit or the catfish.

Wish I still had the picture (pre-cellphone camera days) but I was cleaning a 30+ lb flathead and saw something that looked rather large in its stomach so I cut the stomach open after cutting all the meat off. It was a juvenile raccoon.

It had bitten through the stomach in a few places so I don't know if that fish would have lived or not. It had happened very recently though because the coon wasn't even slightly digested.
