What the heck is this?

When I was fishing at Timber Cove today I snagged what I thought was the bottom. I wasn’t able to work it free so I decided to pull as hard as I could and hope for the best. I was happy that it pulled free and I didn’t lose my brand new Shimano jig. When I got it to the surface I found an extra surprise. However I don’t know if it’s plant or animal. Does anyone recognize it?

Metridium????  Maybe.....have only seen them open underwater.

Looks more like an Asian Fleshlight 

Looks nasty. Might taste great.

  Gross!

Kinda looks looks like the stomach muscle of a ling (right at the opening).  Likely swollowed the trebel whole and then dove onto the rocks.  I have only had this happen when fishing diamond irons...
