oddest thing ever pulled from a fish stomach

Post by beerman1981 » Thu May 22, 2008 10:56 pm

About a month ago I fished Rufus for the first time and went home with my limit of two. One of the fish I cleaned had a belly that was completely filled with gravel, and not all small gravel, some was decent sized. I will attach a picture. It got me thinking, what is the weirdest thing you guys have ever found in the stomach of a fish. Mine would have to be the gravel, but I have also found power bait/ power eggs in many bellies.

I'd have to say a fly strike indicator (the bobber type) along with the actual fly.

When I was at Rufus, a fish spit out a whole prawn (like one you would use for steelhead) and was full with pellet food and when I cleaned it he had a 1/0 hook in his stomach.

Then the first time I went to Rufus me and my cosuin were sitting about 10' a part and caught the same hungry trip.


These arnt the wierdest things, but you said Rufus and that got my wheels turning. I will have to get back to you on this one

Up at Erie Lake, near Anacortes, my buddy and I were catching trout whose bellies felt like beanbags. We solved the mystery while cleaning the fish later that day. They had gorged themselves on snails.

Do you mind sharing the location? I have a new lure that I've been wanting to try.

That's funny dilbert.


I was fishing golf courses yes. And I believe the bass we were catching just assumed the golf balls were food. We did not eat them or cut them open, but a couple we pulled up were bloated and you could feel the golf balls in their stomach. In the stomachs of trout I have found plenty of hooks and line, and rocks.

I found 5 salamanders in an alpine lake trout once, that was a little odd. Tried fishing with salamanders at the same lake the next year and didn't have any luck. I could see a fish gulping down 1 or 2, but 5 was a bit much I thought.
