Rainbow trout with rocks inside

Caught about a 2 lb 16" rainbow that I believe was just planted recently (last Tuesday, May 13th) from Trout Lodge Commercial at Meridian that had 2 rough edged quarter sized 3/16" thick rocks inside of it upon cleaning it. Have any of you experienced anything like this? I was surprised to say the least that it was able to swallow these rocks.
I know sharks eat some weird things, like just about anything, but rainbow trout?

trout eat snails, so maybe it thought those things were snails. Image

Those hatchery trout do not know what to eat. I have caught a lot of triploids with nothing but rocks and bass worms in their stomachs. They are used to being fed theyre whole life then all of a sudden have to find out whats food and what isnt.

Also I just remembered a time where we were partyin on the boat the night before opening day on the lakes and we were eatin chicken wings all night and throwin the bones overboard. Well in the morning we ended up catchin a nice 20in triploid and what do you know it had 3 one 1inch chicken bones in its stomach
