I have seen some weird things fish have eaten. All this has been fish in the wild FW and SW Here are a few I have actually found in their stomachs.

Cigarette butts, chicken bones, lolly papers, chewing gum, feathers, small stones. One of our local SW fish when it goes on a feeding frenzy its stomach will be full and also all the way from its mouth and will still take a bait or lure.
I did not see this a friend of mine has diccovered beer cans in large sea cod.

I'm reminded of the scene from Jaws:
Hooper: Ah. Just like I thought... He came up with the Gulf Stream - from southern waters.
[Hooper pulls a Louisiana license plate from the shark. Brody examines it]
Brody: He didn't eat a car, did he?

I've given my fish a piece of a Burger King chicken nugget. They all went crazy for it.


Also, I've heard that tiger sharks will eat literally anything... Not just living things, but also license plates, electronics, trash, clothes, etc...



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
