I've also hooked into a clam or mussel on a crank.

  • Before I got married I used to enjoy me some stripper fishing once in a while.

  • Might be time for "the talk" lol.

  • I caught about a 5' alligator on a spro frog once. He put up a good fight for about 10 minutes. When I got him to the boat he gave me that look like what are you going to do now. I'll lip bass a

Two ten speed bikes like brand new. I was fishing the river  below the walking and biking trail and snagged onto one in about 3 feet of water, I was able to pull both of them out with my plug knocker. I laid them across the back of the boat and finished the days fishing. When I got home I gave them to my nephews and they used them for a couple of years.

Caught an old four buckle rubber boot from a local pond.

Caught an aluminum folding step ladder out of LOZ.

I landed that ladder on 10 pound test line. Not much of a fight though.

Jimmy Hoffa's body.  Or was it D.B. Coopers? ;)

Seriously though, I hope to never discover a dead body while on one of my forays down to the river.

D.B. Cooper is still alive, don't you keep up with the conspiracies?

Last year I snagged a large dead crow... It was weird and quite disgusting.

HAHAHA Lamooooooooooooooile?

LOL yes sir... was quite ripe.

Helped pull 3 bodies from the Ohio River. That was what we were fishing for though. :-/ Had to make a run to Wally world between #2 and #3 to get better treble hooks.

Last year I caught a Pabst Blue ribbon beer can that was a pull tab top on a rattle trap in Barkley Lake.

Caught a few herons, ducks, and seagulls, but the weirdest catch was a longnose gar. That's not unusual, but the way it happened was one in a billion. Using a T-rigged worm, I set the hook on a decent strike. A big gar shot out of the water and tail walked across the bow not five feet from me. Wow. But how I caught it was truly weird. The gar had been first caught on a trotline but had broken free at the swivel of the dropper. Somehow my now exposed worm hook caught in the swivel eyelet perfectly for my weirdest catch.

A dead cat. I kid you not.

my father , when I was a kid. He is my PB. 220lbs. Got him on a big ol jitterbug ! :D

Man, you guys got some interesting stuff.

Have had a bunch of weird stuff, but can remember pulling in a black t shirt, a boot and then later on, an orange roadwork cone at the same pond. It's on a college campus which may explain why LOL

Plenty of big snappers and softshells, but the weirdest was when a gull grabbed my minnow that was swimming in circles on the surface. Decent fight but he didn't weigh much. He was pretty ticked though!

One time we went in our canoe down the river and i caught a rock lol

I don't get how that's funny...

I small suitcase and when me and my grandpa opened it there was what looked like a 30's family picture, a old rusty watch, and a white tee.

I've also hooked into a clam or mussel on a crank.

One more thing I though was pretty cool was this year I snagged my football head jig on something. Whatever I thought, I just lost a lure.

Well about a month later I snagged something on the same football head (I bought another one because fish kill em') and so I finally get my snag free. And behold as soon as I pull my jig out of the water there's my old one on the hook  :) Barely any rust on it either! Still had the trailer on it too, kinda dissolved though.

The wierdest thing I've ever caught was a long time ago when I was a kid fishing with marshmellow and eggs. I cast out and before it sank a duck ate the marchmellow. He took off flying and I had to rell in a duck in the air. Daffy put up a good fight in the air but the real battle started when I got it to the dock.

Them things can be really mean!!!!! lol Daffy didnt know I was trying to help him and  he bit the shhhh out of me lol
