Weirdest fish I ever caught
This is the weirdest fish I ever caught; it appears that somebody put a rubber band or a hair clasp around this rainbow? Or is it a tag of some sort? no wonder the fish population is down.

Turn it over
Maybe there is a note on the other side under the rubber band ?

Diffently NOT A TAG of any kind, and obviously it has been on the fish for awhile. It kinda looks like a kids bracelet that was in the lake. Did you keep it or cut the ring off and release it?

Looks Like
This looks like a hair elastic. Whoever did this should be slapped - let me at em! This poor fish must have suffered greatly. I know it is just a fish, but it's our fish!

I suppose possibly in a one in a trillion shot somehow this poor fish wonder into the elastic when some innocent little kid dropped it in the lake.... But I doubt it...I see this as something that was intentionally done. Smith Point, I would suggest you send the photographs over to Fish and Game. There isn't much they will be able to do about it I know. However the knowledge of such events is important for them to know about.

More likely that the fish did it on its own rather than someone catching it and then putting the bracelet on and releasing.....but who knows.

I think the fish nosed into the thing. Exactly he reason to cut all the loops on those plastice soft drik holders so the birds won't get into them at landfills etc.

I six pack can holder is a different story they have some buoyancy and don't complete sink, and move around and can get kicked up off the bottom very easily especially by a school of fish.
