as happened in the 70s and 80s. Like to think we can be
serious once in a while. Let me try once more: anyone out
there found plastic or rubber in stomach of blues????
I've never checked the contents of their stomachs, but almost every blue I've ever caught has regurgitated bait when I've landed them. I would imagine it's some sort of reflex to try to spit the hook. Not sure if they would spit out chunks of rubber lures if they weren't hooked, but I'd imagine they would realize it wasn't food pretty quick.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
