Bizarre Stomach Contents of a RV Rainbow

Just don't fish for them when the water is too hot...
there're sensitive

I agree with Rich196 about it being a senko and they do expand and don't breakdown in a fishes stomach. It's quite disturbing at the number of soft plastics that one can see lying on the bottom of lakes with good water clarity. In recent years I see more and more 15" to 17" bass that have a normal size head but are very thin, they generally give a good fight but definitely have a problem and I figure that it's most likely soft plastics in their stomach, not much room in their stomach for much else. Please take your old soft plastics and put them in the garbage, not into the waters you fish. Senkos seem to be the biggest culprit. IMHO

PS: This is a picture of one that was very thin but this isn't a good angle.

Rubber, plastic, golf balls, you name it !

Has there ever been any discussion on limiting or banning rubber or plastics on some of our " special " fisheries ?

how do you rig a dildo.." wacky" or texas rig? can't believe what those fish had in their guts. it is amazing they can live with that stuff in their stomachs. you would think that they would not feed very well with those gut bombs in them.
