Dam! I understand its a pike, but people need to keep the junk out of the water.

Adam Turnbell told Fox News that the fish he reeled in was unlike anything he has caught before. (Adam Turnbull)





A Canadian fisherman hopes his astounding catch of a pike growing around a drink wrapper will teach others not to litter.


“Pick up your garbage. This is a Powerade wrapper which takes up no room in your pocket until you get to a garbage can. Please share!”

Adam Turnbull, of Sarnia, Ontario, wrote on a Facebook post.


The images have gone viral with more than 12,000 shares.


Turnbull said he removed the wrapper and released the fish back into the waters of Alberta.


"I was very surprised a fish could even survive like this," Turnbull told Fox News, adding that he has never caught anything like it before.
"I spoke to a biologist and the blockage was just behind its stomach so it would have been able to eat normally, just longer for digestion to take place," he said.

I wonder what the fish will recover like, is the ring scar permanent?

Organs, muscle, and skeleton all grew around it. That fish is permanently girdled

Ha! Keep swinging short bus. I'm way too busy helping your old lady bleach her mustache and find XXXXL Russells to be having two profiles.

What? I must of missed something.

One of the more clever users decided to give me a twofer. I can guess who it is, but I'd hope he's too busy improving his rod labelling skills to be worried about what I'm doing

Good grief is the original "sportsman" back? What a prick.
