I was fishing with a friend in the Columia river when I was a kid, we ran out of worms,catching nothing but junk fish. As a joke, I put piece of cheese popcorn from our lunch on my hook and tosssed it in,pow I cought about a fifteen inch trout, ok closer to 13' Im not sure actualy becaue I got it onto the dock and the hook fell out of itsmouth and it flopped all over the dock while we both dove for it but the fish won and found an opening in the dock :'(the whole event lasted a few seconds) we both baited up with popcorn but got not so much as a nible after that.
I once snagged the tial of a 20" sturgeon, I thought it was a monster!
