New breed of striper

Featured Replies

I was doing a little pitching from the bank before work tonite as usual, when I snagged someone's nasty old undies. >:(

The sad thing is this is not the first time.

Anyone else seem to catch unusual things?

I fish the river a lot so you can only imagine what I pull up.. The two weirdest things this year were a garbage bag with a pair of shoes in it.. A drivers license Expired in 2001. Last year I caught a glass beer bottle a neckless and a calculator. lol... Although I haven't caught underwear or a body yet. If I keep fishing this river im sure I will.

I caught an Ambassadeur 5500C on a Fenwick rod once. Still have and use it.

Your title caught me off guard.  I thought you were going to talk about catching stripers, not strippers.  :o)

Lucky. The only thing I ever catch other than fish is weeds. ;D I catch lots of them though... ::)

Last year we was drop shotting on CedarCreek under the 198 bridge on Xmas eve, and it was snowing and cold as hell.

  Chris' fairy wand doubled over and I could see the swimming motion and her drag was singing.

  With the cold temps, you know how big fish feel like dead weight and put up a small fight.

   When it was all said and done, it was camcorder, she hooked the strap and that thing danced like a big toad.

   Had me excited.   I'll try to get her to pull up pictures of this catch.

We went fishing at this lake a month ago that a year prior someone had caught a dead baby in a bag, pretty horrific after I heard that I thought twice about if I really wanted to go fishing there.  :-[

Was fishing the Illinois river for catfish and caught and entire section of chain link fence =P

I think he was refering to the stripe on the undies.Ewww!!!!!

Caught a bunch of crap from my ol' lady.  It was still worth it.

I caught a pair of camo coveralls one time ......... glad they were empty. One time I hooked a plastic ball with a big slit in it, it was moving from side to side when I would raise my rod, I even had my partner standing by with the net and felt like an idiot when it finally surfaced.

Just last week my buddy snagged a nasty ol' pair of boxers. Yuck :P

Duck, Coot, Seagul, Turtle (all while cat, carp fishing)

landing net, backpack, fanny pack, shirt...

I also caught TWO remote control boats but only because the owner wanted mt to cast out lures to try to hook them because they got stuck in thick brush and he could not get them out.... The propellers were stuck and would not even turn... was quite funny.
