I've eaten some weird stuff. Squid, octopus, conch salad ( raw cooked in Lime or lemon juice). As for wild game boar,gator,beaver,coon,wood chuck. Of course I still eat squirrels a couple times a year.lol tree rat as the wife calls them.lol. As for bait I've nibbled at cubed Velveeta cheese out of the cooler and peeled fresh live shrimp out of the bait well and added hot sauce or soy sauce in Florida fishing for sea trout,it was the captain's favorite,fresh sushi. About the weirdest stuff was my grandfather loved tripe cooked in a watery tomato broth. I tasted it but passed after that,that was probably 50 years ago. I saw it for sale at of all places the Wal-Mart.lol
