Trout vs. Mouse
New Zealand's Southland Times reports about one angler's catch of a large brown trout who's eyes were bigger than its stomach.
Invercargill angler Alan Hoffman said he landed the large brown trout on Friday morning and noticed it had a hard bulge in its stomach.
On gutting the fish he discovered what looked like a "long possum tail". However, on closer inspection it turned out to be a large number of mouse hairs, which had matted together.
"It's looked like it had swallowed a large piece of drier lint."
Mr Rodway said the fish had a large head relative to the size of its body, which indicated it had been losing weight because of the obstruction.
