this was in the belly of a cod. it appears to be fur. the patch is about the size of a golfball. rest of the belly/intestine was empty. trouble digesting it? fish was healthy looking. any ideas

Always wondered what ever happened to Fluffy the cat. Last time I saw him he was sitting on the transom. :devil2:

Feathers?

Someone had a toupee blow off ?

Striped bass like large mouth will eat about anything that swims on the surface.

Looks like a fur burger!

Maybe a bird?

I think John Madden would call this a Codducken.....

Paul, I bet that fish tasted like chicken.........

Ask bigfish, he stole all the fillets

Cormorant, cod move inshore to breed.

They are not feathers. I've pulled feathers out of a bluefish and cobia before and this stuff was like fur

When someone generously says...."Take whatever you want"......well.....I do as I am told??? :rotf2: My penance will be a container of my striper/cod chowdah for Suzie Paul! I feel bad!!! LOL!!

Dead rat???

Don't feel bad Larry, I'm just messing with you. For all the pluggage you've given me over the years you deserve all the fillets you want - you greedy #^&#^&#^&#^&

yeah...like where can I get me some of that "bedraggled mouse" .

I guess you can't blame the cod for eating so much of it.

Awesome! Can't wait!:uhuh:

Sea urchin.

it's a sea mouse. Our cod from sunday had a bunch in em. the "hairs" are shiny/metallic. neat/weird looking thing.

what boat were you on niko?

went out on FF. nice to tug on some fish

i like franks message.... so cryptic

any worms in the fish flesh?

any worms in the fish flesh?

I'd be shocked if there were not... all the cod (ok, not a ton) I've caught out there range from 1-2 worms to a dozen or more. I made a light box to candle the fillets.

the small fish had a few worms, not bad. the larger fish had none

Problem with the larger fish is it's tougher to see the worms... They're there just deep in the meat.. Blech

I've pretty much given up on the cod, it's OK but not worth the work of picking out all the critters. Now haddock, but especially redfish?? :drool:
