I only hooked a fish in the stomach twice, but it was a total accident! We were on the lake, and we have to drop our lines down FAST to get thru the perch to the trout, and I felt a movement once my line settled so I jerked up, and I thought I had the big one, but no, I had hooked a trout in the belly....My husband was looking at me with a gaping mouth and asked how in the heck I did that. I don't know, he muct have been swimming above my hook lol. They were big enough to take home though, so no worries! If we make a mistake taking the hook out, then we keep them, but I hook them thru the nostril and can get the hook out without making them bleed or doing any damage. I guess my hooks are small enough for that.
My dad has turkey feathers displayed on their walls, but they also eat the turkey. He also has a ton of antlers, but we have eaten every bit of meat that came from the deer who once wore them.
