Probably not true. I thought the same thing but it was explained to me that when a fish breaks a fishing line with tackle and a lead sinker attached, Loons often make quick work of the crippled fish along with the attached tackle, lead sinker and all. They don't normally scoop up sinkers lying on the bottom of the lake. At least that is what I was told.
