What else have you caught while fishing?

Featured Replies

Couple cheap fishin poles.

Bag's that are so nasty covered in crap that you can hardly tell its still a bag.

Ive caught fish that have plastic's in their mouth, first person on the lake and catching a bass with a zoom lizard in his mouth makes you wonder how long the fish will sit there with it.

The strangest would have to be a 3 inch grub suspended floating around on a rattletrap, what are the chances of that?

a really good beer buzz! everytime i ocean fish and it is rough, bring on the beer.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I was surf fishing back in 2005 with a double rig and a heavy sinker. I went through with the cast and the rig went flying. "Great," I thought. A $4 rig gone. So, I retied and put everything back on and made some more casts. Well, I feel my rig pulling something in, I thought it was a crab.

Guess what I had hooked?

Somehow, I had hooked the rig through a hole on the top no larger than this "o". Pretty amazing!

I've never caught anything out of the ordinary while fishing, but I did see a kid catch a couple turtles out of a pond while fishing with night crawlers. I also saw a dead freshwater eel on the bank of one of then ponds that someone must have caught and NOT released because it was all rigamortised.

I have snagged several things like

aligators

pelicans -  it was like flying a kite!!

fishing pole

bicycle

shopping cart

rope

my dad

Caught a seagull once at Hatteras. We were getting ready to leave as it was late, and my buddy was tossing the left over bait into the water. Just as I thought I had a bite and set the hook, a gull swooped down to grab some of the bait still floating. Clotheslined him and the line wrapped around its neck. We got it loose and it flied away.

Crazy Birds.  :o

Actually after reading someone elses post I remebered catchign a few freshwater clams that clamp down on the hooks. I caught one one a crankbait once. Plus one time these ducks were swimming around grazing off the bottom, and I was casting a Slug Go, and for some reason these ducks loved this thing. I have never had a duck go after any other lure, but they kept chasing the SLug Go. It was pretty funny.

Plus I have almost caught a seagull when chunking bait for stripers. Thos things will dive right in after your bait, once I had one grab my bait and fly away with it. I thought he was hooked, but luckily not. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be trying to un hook a seagull.

On a rat-l-trap=4 foot paintroller

On a tube=frisby

On a jig=Shopping cart

How did that shopping cart fight? How far out were you when you hooked it and did you ever get it to shore to get your lure back?

Lol, it is amazing what 65 pound braid can do. Didnt want to break the rod so went over on the trolling motor and go my jig out, but the hook was bent out so that was the end of that one. The next time I fished there my buddy actually got a four pounder off of it. I couldnt believe it. Must have been holding some heat or something in that 40* h2o.

The worse thing I have caught was a red bag filled with blood samples and needles.  I pulled it into the boat to get the hooks out and then I noticed the Bio Hazard symbol on the bag.  I guess the lake I was fishing had some hospital dump waste dumped into by some dumb@$$.  The bad thing though I don't how many I have caught and eaten out of that lake.

thats pretty rough. can you say blood fish. and about the shopping cart and freakin huge panties lol. ;

I like to catch my tom cat on zoom flukes in the back yard. Hook point removed of course. He puts up a pretty good fight.

Turtle~ Soft sided as big as my 31" mud tire's.

Seagull

Fishing line with lure's attached is what, I like ;).

Trash bag's

Tree branch or is it a log? ;D

H.B.A.
