this was just a little 5 pound winter chromer. The feathers were a big surprise, almost like they might have been attached to a chunk of the bird that she had eaten earlier. Thats the first winter fish that I've caught that had anything in their stomach (besides cured egg juice), I've caught lots of summer fish with just about anything in their gut. It makes you wonder just what they might bite on, but I think thats been discussed before.
