Craziest Things Caught On A Frog Or Other Lure

Featured Replies

Today I caught 2 bass on a spro popper frog then I caught a giant bullfrog on the next cast accidentally. The funny thing about it is that I saw a picture of someone that caught a frog on a frog earlier in the morning and then had the same thing happen to me.  What is the craziest thing or creature you caught on a lure?

Geez what haven't I caught on a bait? Snapping turtles on almost everything, they'll really stop a crankbait or jerkbait. Most surprising one was a spook. Catfish on almost everything I've fished, including topwater. Had a 6 or 7 pound flathead on a buzzbait and a 10 pound channel cat on a frog. Caught a sleeping bag on a jigging spoon, didn't look inside it, didn't want to know if anything was in it or not. I've had some rocks fool me into thinking I'd hooked a monster. The thin, flat ones are worse because they glide and feel like a big fish that is just slowly cruising and taking line. I've had a 21" walleye and 21" bass the same day, both on chunks of cut bluegill fishing for catfish. The list goes on and on.

Friend hooked a water snake on a frog.

 

He cut the line.

 

Gave me the willies just talking about it.

Salt water fishing, caught a Flounder on a shad body being trolled at about 6 mph!  Craziness

 

Another time on an offshore charter, my dad reeled up a rod/reel that had been dropped overboard a few weeks earlier off the same boat!!  The Captain argued with dad that he knows the Dr who dropped it overboard,....dad was like,...cool,  ...tell him I appreciate the butterfingers but I just pulled it off the bottom of the ocean FISHING,...so its mine now,lol

Them Bullfrogs LOVE a hollow body frog. Threw one last week and you could see em crawlin through the mats to take a look...even watched the water wake as they swam in. They jumped all over my Frog time and time again...

I've caught countless frogs on hollybelly frogs on mats. 

 

Last year I caught a giant snapping turtle on 7# fluoro casting a drop shot near some weed lines.  I just felt a tick, leaned back and just felt dead weight. I thought I had a log until this massive shell surfaced and started thrashing. He had the whole dang thing in his mouth. No idea how the line didn't break. I promptly cut the line as I didn't see me winning that one.

I've had snappers three times really starting to get irritated bout it snagged a carp while working a swimbait a bull frog on a Texas rigged craw a pumpkinseed on the tail of a shaky head and last but not least a sock on a crankbait

Caught a spotted nose gar on a rapala x-rap, and a goose on a chatter bait (lost the chatter bait on that one)!

hooked a pelican with a spook. A bullfrog on a Rage Craw. A musky on a 15" largemouth. A bald eagle with a perch (real bad time). And one time a very close passing jetski....

I have caught several bull frogs on hollow body frogs, I once had a blue heron nab a spinnerbait I reeled past the area he was "fishing", and I caught a  sandle that put up one heck of a fight on deep crankbait.

Last year I was wading a small creek and caught a 8 pound snapper on a 1/16 white roaster tail

Just rocks, wood, and weeds for me.

Hooked a bumper on a moving tractor-trailer with a bucktail off the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel,smoked my drag for a second before the line broke lol.

Baby alligator.

Not me, but my buddy sent me this picture last week.  Said the fight was OK, but live release was an adventure.   lol

Cranking a speed trap and hooked a dead body, or more like the guys hat and some flesh on my treble. It scared the living s**t out of me. Oh and the same day caught a catfish on topwater

Caught a 4 ft. piece of rebar trolling on Lake Michigan and two rods and reels on the same afternoon on KY. Lake.

True Story, casting under a bridge from a pier, I casted over the guard rail. I start reeling and hear vroom. Next thing you know I was spooled. And the line stopped my buddy walked around up on to the bridge and line was cut and wedged in a bolt on the guard rail. Lmao so yea caught a car on a saltwater plug.

Starfish, Dungeness crab, and sea anemones while fishing for rockfish.
