:nerd: OK Mags, This is just for you... and like the ShamWow guy says, "We can't afford to do this all day."

[size=large]I got this out of my tackle box. Here is approximately what your mystery item looked like when it was intact and ready to fish.[/size]

[size=large]In this photo I have sliced the side of the fish open. You can see the cellophane wrapped lead sinker up near the head of the fish.[/size]

[size=large]In this photo, I've tried to simulate what happened to the fishing lure you found. For whatever reason it had been damaged and the hook had been pulled through along with the lead sinker to the opposite end of the barbed hook, hence your hook sticking in the belly of a fish. And in the picture below is the hook with the cellophane wrapped lead sinker that I slid down to the barbed end of the hook. I hope this makes it crystal clear for you, as I hate to think of you losing sleep. Now you owe me 3 bucks.

what happened. It's crystal clear to me now and yes, I was still wondering how that had happened..you are soooooooo smart!

I was looking for another hole in the side of that fish as an explanation, but could find none.

I think your screen name should now be "Sherlock"

I wonder if I could put that lead "shoe" back into the fish? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. You just know that I am going to try it.

thanks again...much appreciated
