For the rest of you, another random thought.

Have you found anything interesting inside the fish you have cleaned over the years? My kids always asked what was "inside" usually just minnows & crayfish but sometimes a surprise. One lake trout through the ice had 3 sets of treble hooks lodged in his mouth & gullet. They all came from the same tip up over about a 2 hour period. He kept coming back to that same spot and breaking off somehow. Don't think he could have possibly swallowed anything with all that hardware in his mouth. go figure.

Then there was this eating size pike.
