wow that's crazy. I have to admit though, I did enjoy seeing those pics and love it that you got the whole process photoed for us.Just an amazing process that none of us would probably ever see had it not been for your photo's.
It's too bad it was so large. As someone else mentioned I have seen one of my fish swallow a rubber band and you just need to help the fish by pulling it out once it begins to pass it but I don't think your arow would have been able to pass that. Just way too big.You should go buy a snake for it to eat as a treat now
Just glad to hear it all worked out for you.
