Dangers of plastic lures

#^&#^&#^&#^& Fincher of Phase II lures send me a quote from
IN-Fisherman Magazine 8/11that autopsies on fresh water
fish are revealing the stomach packed tight with soft-
baits. These lures are blocking the digestive system
leading to starvation. Apparently there was a similar
report in the Bangor (Maine) Daily News 5/1/09.

I wonder how this is effecting our saltwater bluefish
who chomp thousands of plastic and rubber lures
every year. Do they swallow or spit-out? Has anyone
caught a half starved blue or looked inside the stomach
cavity on any consistent manner Would seriously like to
get an answer??? Let's hear on this.
