Notice the monofilament fishing line hanging on the near by branches . . !
The managers for this small lake spot waste receptacles noted for disposal of fishing line as a means for protecting the wild life.
Yet this situation continues unabated.
Look carefully at the GBH with the fish and see my concern.
I went back to remove the line once I had processed the image only to find it gone. What is the probability that a human spotted it and removed it in the intervening two hours?
Hopefully the GBH didn't have issues beyond fish bones!

I have seen birds with hooks, lines, and other plastics ingested or tangled on and in them. It's horrible and mostly avoidable. I like your image, too.

We have had birds sweep in and grab a bait or get tangled in line.
We reel them in, cover head with a towel, and free up mess, not easy at times

About a month or so ago at the local state conservation area I was talking to a 16 year old boy who was fishing. When I got ready to get back into my car to leave I saw a wad of monofilament line he had tossed onto the ground so I picked it up. Another time at a pond I saw a turtle caught in some monofilament that had cut through most of his upper mouth. Ignorant people do ignorant things. That shot is very nice.

Great capture, Warren, sad to see the actions of some careless fishermen.
