Buzzerbaby,
How ya doin? I keep thinking I'll bump into you again sometime on a river. Concerning strange things in a fishes stomach. I caught a big Steelhead off the North Jetty fishing for Silvers in Aug '91 that was chuck full of herring or anchovies. It was gorged so full they were coming out of its mouth. It probably had a dozen in there and, uh, mine was one of them.
I've caught Spring Chinook that have had smelt and smolts in their stomach too.
Years ago, on the EF I caught a winter fish that had a pine cone in its stomach then a summer fish on the Wshgl that was full of peri-winkles.
While this one is not so odd...One day this fall on the NF Lewis I was having an off day and kept missing Silvers. I gave away several baits of eggs to fish. Buddy fishing with me nails a Silver, lands it and its stomach is full of my eggs. We recognized my odd cured eggs in there. My buddy brings it up every chance he gets. Something like, "Need me to hook that fish for ya?" Nice guy....
See ya around Buzzerbaby,
