Stomach contents...
For breakfast I had...
Actually got me thinking about odd stuff I've pulled out of a bass when cleaning her...
Took a fish recently with an 8" sea robin in it's stomach, a first for me..
So what else have people seen, besides the obvious herring/pogy/squid/crabs/lobster

Got a 30lber that had a single periwinkle in its gut. Another fish i cleaned also had a single periwinkle, set the periwinkle on the table, turned to wash the filets in the sink, look back and it was crawling accross the table. It was a hermit crab that was still alive and kicking.

I caught a bass a few years back that had an eel in it with a hook hole in the eel's throat...
The usual suspects, small fluke, small lobster...

That was mine. 
Found 2 whole lobsters in the gut and a small bass 3/4 the way down the throat of a 30+# fish. |

I've had Mantis shrimp,Flounder stacked like pancakes,The cigar type remnants of a chopped eel,one bass last fall had 37 peanut bunker,Another had 2-12" weakfish an a treble in its throat when it went for my 9 " shad imitation.A 36 lber out of the cc canal had 2 lobsters one 1 lber an one 1.5 lb size.The stomach acids make em turn orange which is cool.Along the lines of wierd i seen plastic drinking straws,rocks an that wierd rubber like weed with the little shrimp like things growing in it that i pick up with my jig hooks.Not sure if it's by catch or they need to get some fiber.My favorite is this time of yr when they are full of big Bunker.

I caught a 42#er that had a little mexican guy wearing a cape and a sombrero. He offered me a shot of tequlia if I released the fish. So I did. He then rode off on a donkey.  |

used to live line sea robbins with the spikes trimmed down on the boat in Long Island inlets. Worked very well for some real quality fish.

June 95, full moon, incoming tide. Took a bass late fall off a well known early season location, had one eye. The other eye was white, had a round stone a little larger than my fist in its stomach.
Only thing I can think of was that it had eaten the stone to aid in the digestion(peristalsis?) of hard shelled creatures.

Not me - but a friend of mine who guides took a fish with a corn cob in its stomach! His felt that it probably was a lobster boil and someone pitched a "lobstery" smelling cob in the water and a bass whacked it. Strangest I've heard of.

actually right about in the middle of that whole lousy two-three weeks last October...
think they were running the dollars as ballast?, the bottom was all kicked up, and dollars showing on the beach for a while after.
