This is probably the strangest fish I've ever caught. It is some sort of carp, maybe like a buffalo or something. I caught this one about 4 years ago on a firetiger Wiggle Wart. The thing had the whole crankbait in it's mouth.

I really enjoyed Tom Mann's Think Like a Fish. It's not really focused on fishing techniques, but it's mainly a bunch of funny fishing stories as told by Tom Mann. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh just a little bit.

I lost one well over 10 pounds a few years ago at Millwood Lake in Arkansas on a white fluke. My reel kept messing up and I had to stop and fix it in the middle of a cast. Well, after I got it all straightened out, I picked the rod back up and saw a large bass inhale my fluke. Well, I began pulling it in and it ran around a stump and started thrashing, and needless to say, it came off. :'( That's not a good feeling to have. and another time, I lost another one at Millwood that was probably between 10 and 12 pounds. I was fishing with my father in a tournament in the early spring when I lost this one. Dad kept having a fish hit at his lizard on the same tree every time we threw at it. Well, I threw past him to follow him up in case it missed his lizard again. Well this worked great, except for the fish making a furious ran at the surface and throwing the hook as our jaws dropped. I have yet to catch a 10 pounder, but I have caught a 9.
