Several bullfrogs.

A seagull.

And this big softshell turtle on a big golden roach.

Put up a pretty good fight.

Caught a extreme rod and a ol' green curado from where my dad had lost it a year earlier. He cleaned it up and it worked great, although the cork was ate up. He then was stripper fishing at night and lost it again!!!!

Woh! The next time he goes stripper fishing, let us know! ;D

To the subject, it's a bit embarrassing, but I caught someone's underware with my UL rig. They must have lost it while skinny dipping. I just cut the line.

I've also caught a bat, turtles, and almost hooked a duck in flight who was flying toward my crankbait in midflight.

a large orange traffic cone

a shopping cart

a bag with six beers - gotta say they were nice and cold.

a long time ago my fishing buddy caught a full stringer of fish

I have caught somebody's make up kit using a jig. Somebody was doing more than fishing on the lake.

Drag Fishin???

Myself  just 3 lures 2 spoons and my one of my own that I lost the week before.

A spearfisherman off stinky beach at ocean city md. I started reeling thinking i had a huge fish, but then a guy popped up yelling, with a gotcha plug in his leg. All divers are supposed to have flags, but he didnt

A dead horse (actually a colt or foal, not sure which) with a rope around its neck.  I actually caught the rope and when I pulled it in, I noticed the rope was wrapped around a small horses neck.  The smell was pretty bad, but I was at least able to cut the rope and get my lure back. 

I was wading a small river throwing a crankbait and reeled in a "dirty" magazine, surprisingly it was still intact. They must have made it with indestructable paper.

I dont know how rare they are but I caught an albino catfish, it was a neat looking fish.

I was with a guy who caught a red bellied Piranha on a slip bobber and minnow. He ended up keeping it as a pet.

A really really old Old Style can.

A dead kitten while bottom fishing in some saltwater.  That was pretty nasty.  I've hooked a few seagulls tossing herring.  I've had a heron nearly grab a topwater.  I scared the crap out of it when it saw me.

Absolutely amazing stuff guys.  Insane!  Kittens and horses?  Are you kidding me?  I'm dying to hear more from others. Wow.

hahaha thats pretty funny

might as well add in my story... wasnt really me but a friend of mine hooked a bass off this dock and had the line break.  We then went off and fished all day then returned to the dock to take out.  We fished alittlebit off the dock and i kept feeling my line move but when i set the hook nothing happened.  After afew more casts i reeled in my line and found another line attached to it.  We pulled in the line and at the end of it was the bass that had snapped my friends line earlier.  so i ask you....who caught the fish?

Wow, are you ever lucky to still have all your digits. Those softshells are vicious suckers and their neck is long enough to reach all the way to the end of their tails. Their jaws are like razors!!!

Hooked a tennis ball, a 20" bmx bike, and the best thing was a nice shad shaped swimbait, that was custom made by a local guy. I posted pic's of it on another site, and he identified it..whats cool, is I cleaned it up, and it swims pretty good.  :)

I've caught an old rod/reel and minnow bucket while catfishing but my favorite was the bikini top I caught at the beach off the pier. I reeled it in and first thing we did was start looking all over for the girl it belonged to, it was senior week so we were hoping she was out there somewhere.

I caught a zebo 33 the other day.

When i was a kid i would go to the creek in our backyard and catch some perch, and then take them to this little bridge up the road and rehook the perch and dangle them down over the rocks and catch snakes. I don't even have a guess as to how many snakes i caught that way over the years, but i know it has to be over a 100. Still gives me cold chills to think about those big snakes coming out.....

While fishing on Kentucky Lake in the summer of 2006 I caught an early Jack Daniels Distillery Bottle.  It was clear glass, had a wire around the neck, and that's what my hook got ahold of.

I had the bottle appraised and it was appraised at $450!  I sold it at an auction for $800.   ;)

In salt water a Manta birostris (manta ray) ;)

A freind of mine hooked a Pelican while fishing from a pier for Blues one time. What a fight that was, this guy is about 6' 6' and 350 pounds. He had that bird on the end of his line and it was air borne, he ran up and down the pier with that thing, bodies flying everywhere. One of the funniest things I have ever witnessed.

I actually caught a bass one time...

That was REALLY weird for me!!
