I found a Capri sun bag this weekend. Clean out plug fixed it.

Found a large soda bottle a few years ago on old Sea-Doo.

What have you found??
 
When I had my 07 SX230, I found a bic lighter.
 
I shredded a bread loaf bag once. It took a while to clear out on its own but finally did :D

Worst thing I saw on here was the huge catfish someone sucked up!
 
Pics or it didn’t happen.
 
I seem to recall someone sucking up a frog once - and they had to distract their little girl while they chucked the remains overboard.

Can't find it here though. Maybe it was back on The Board That Shall Not Be Named?

Of the catfish? They're on here buried in some random thread. The search is acting broken for me but I'll try and find the pic.

Big piece of plastic sheeting--like 2' x 3' or so. Had been sitting on the bottom in a shallow section of the lake...

Of any of the things found... seems like a good thread idea to have them in one spot instead of random threads.
 
I think it's a "What have you sucked up" type thread but the search engine and history of user data is missing/messed up at the moment. Is the search broken?
 
Floatable golf ball! Dang kids!
 
When I kept my boat in the water and not on the lift, I would have catfish in the intakes almost every time we went out. I always had to remember to scare them out before I fired up the engines. Other than that, I have had diapers and plastic bags but have seen a lot worse floating in the Potomac.
 
I was terrified about having a jet boat in the TN river because of all the trash I've seen in it over the years. Apparently it isn't nearly as dirty as I thought it was. One year of ownership so far and I haven't sucked up anything yet (knock on wood).

Well... headed out now, fingers crossed I don't suck up a catfish.
