Odd bones on bass

[Gnasher]

I had a last minute trip to beaulie river in search of something for tonight's bbq. Started with worm, but had more schoolies than I can handle, so a switch to squid as dark fell resulted in something powerful doing me after one long run. 10 mins later, the sane rod is away and a bass about 4lb comes off at the net. Slightly gutted, and thinking of paddling back, the right hand rod tears off and a pb 8lb bass is landed.

 

On gutting the fish, I opened the sack to see what looked like chicken bones! I guess it's been preying on something other than fish! Anyone else found large bones in a basses stomach?

I can't attach the pic, but I've tagged a few in on a fb pic. Can someone put the bones pic on here?

Don't look like chicken to me, the curvature is wrong, could be a sea bird.

I know a couple of people that have caught their best bass on chicken in Navy dockyards [hard to get bait on warships]

 

so I expect that left overs thrown into the river is the answer

We had a couple of turbot which were full of chicken bones last time we were out in Alderney so with the shortage of Mackerel is drumstick the new wonder bait?
