Weirdest thing you ever found in a fish's stomach?

I shot a common merganser drake with a 10" spiny ray digesting in its belly....

why the hell were you diggin around in the belly of a merganser??? 

Popped out when I gutted it.     They taste OK in a curry sauce.

Found all the usual, cig butts, hooks, lures, etc., but the most amazing one was a halibut that had six full sets of octopus beaks in it.  I know they eat octopus, (that's what we used for bait fishing them commercially), but these were from really, really BIG octopie, and the halibut wasn't very big.  It had round pieces of skin just hanging in several places.  Apparently from the fight before the feast. 

Also caught a couple salmon (commercially in AK) one that had swam through two of the six holes in one of those plastic six pack holders.  Then it grew until the plastic rings went through the middle of the fish.  One was through the stomach area, the other up towards the gills.  The other one was a big coho, that had a huge o-ring that had done the same thing. Just like a tree will grow around a fence wire.  Pretty weird looking.  Amazing that they could survive.

I know a guy that went on a tuna charter while vacationing on the east coast. He got sea sick and heaved over the side of the boat losing his dentures.
End of the day they found his dentures cleaning a tuna someone else caught.

lots of crawfish. Once we were bass fishing with 5'' top water plugs, my friend caught a 2" bass, that has happened a lot. Trout fishing I snagged something while reeling in, felt like a small branch. when I got it in it was line, that was moving. I pulled the line in and there was a nice rainbow attached to a wedding ring, still alive.

That very same thing happened to me a couple years ago!

 Usually, my own lure , on occasion I do get lucky.

 The weirdest thing I can think of were other peoples lures, I reeled in a trout at Tanwax one time when I actually snagged a line on the bottom that had snapped off someones line and the fish had swallowed their bait/ hook.

While taking pictures of a 64 lbs. king I noticed something unusual sticking out of its throat, grabbed it and started pulling, ended up being an 18" baby wolf eel.
Saw a 250 lbs. halibut with a tumor/growth in its stomach, it was a calsified mass a little bigger then a softball and weighed about 15 lbs. nasty as hell. I don't keep the big girls to begin with but the thought of eating that would have made me sick. Not the 1st big butt I've seen with tumors but the only 1 I've seen in the stomach.
