Think you've seen everything? Think again!!!

My brother just got this picture from a friend of his. Fish(2# sea bass) was caught this past weekend off Westerly, RI.

His friend was cleaning the fish and noticed a large bump on the fish's belly... inside was a crab, a mummie, and yes, a plastic army guy...I can't make this %$%$%$%$ up... WTF????

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

You gonna spend the winter turning through wired army men now?

If ever in Westerly stop in at Watch Hill Outfitters and check out the through wired Pokemon figure. The 3 initials by the tail identify it as the handy work of that rock hopping fellow.

This pic is legit. The guy that sent it to me is as honest as it gets.

We've been discussing possible scenarios as to how it got there, and what the actual odds are of re-catching that fish, since there are literally billions of Sea Bass around. What do you guys think?

The mummy looks like it's 8 feet long next to the army guy.

That is funny as hell mike

an army guy

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

when i was a kid growing up in newton ma. the house caught fire in the play room (3rd floor) due to a train transformer getting to hot... near some rags..

in that room were all the christmas toys from many christmases and birthdays of six sons...

the horror of it all was finding half melted green army men for many years afterwards emerging out of the lawn like dawn of the dead....

Anyone whose ever been on flyfishsaltwaters.com or reel time knows that is none other than MINI B. There were a whole bunch of Mini B fishing exploits including one for the giant striped bonito. I gotta go find those threads that was some of the funniest chit you've ever seen. He had a brother too I think. Quite the fishermen they were. I haven't seen anything about them. He must have been eaten alive trying to catch that fish.

Hey, Back Beach
See if you can contact the guy who has the Little Plastic Man. Inquiring Minds would like to have the guy for an Autopsy. He (The Little Guy) has been missing for a long time and IF it is the true Mini B your friend may have a valuable find!!!!!

Search FFSW as "MINI B" and there are about 50 + listings.

I'll be either fishing (weather permitting) or pouring lead with Dave(the guy who caught the fish) on Sat morning if we need any other intel on the army guy.
