I was fishing Benewah Lake, in northern Idaho, years ago. This lake is basically a continuation of Coeur d'Alene Lake, on its south end.
Anyway, I caught a perch about 6 inches long. It had swallowed the hook and I killed it trying to get the hook out. So, I figured to gut it then and there and bring home a treat for the cat.
When I cut it open, the biggest rubber bass worm you ever saw popped out. Scared the heck outta me, as I thought for a second it was some big ol' parasite!
Nope, just a big rubber bass worm. That poor perch; there's no way he would have passed that thing. He was destined to starve so I actually gave him a much merciful death than he faced.
And yep, Toby the cat still got his treat. A few perch, microwaved and then the meat flaked off, made a good meal.
I often fed my cat perch, squawfish and bullheads nuked in the microwave. He loved it.

Ivy, I was fishing at the Southeast Lump off the coast of Freeport Texas, And caught a sea turtle that must have been at least 4ft. across his shell,, I did get him close enough to snip the wire leader right at his mouth, so he would not get tangled in a bunch of fishing line and drown,,It was a good release and the local game warden told me the hook would rust away,, it did fight pretty good, but slow, it is against the law to harm them !!!!!!!!!
