Ex-GirlFriend. But then again she was easy.....

No the sad part is I snagged a dead lady with the prop of my motor back around 1980. She had ran into the flood waters close to our house. Was Putting the boat in, Started the motor up. When the prop got a shirt wrapped around the prop. Got that off wondering why a shirt was in this spot, Then when taking off with the boat almost hit her car, The water was just over the top. When the waves lapped over it you could see the red Car.. Now the bad part is I did not know there was a body with the shirt. So when I got back to the house I called this in. Everyone showed up to get the car out, They searched for the lady 5 days. Then found her right where I had snagged the shirt in the prop. When they got her out of the water, most of one shirt was gone. Man that was close... Never wish this one anyone.

I snagged my thumb. Normally that would not be a big deal; I've had hooks in my fingers before, but this was the first time I'd done it with the fish also on the hook flipping around, and at night to boot. Plus my fishing buddy was laughing so hard he was no help.

I river fish a lot. I have snagged all sorts of fun stuff.....pillow (like the one you sleep on), skateboard, bmx bike and a lawn chair just to name a few.

i went to set the hook in the dark when i was fishing a shakey head in four foot of water. well, there was no fish & it was too dark to dodge the hook....so it snagged me on the bridge of the nose, right between the eyes.

A plastic bag with lures hooked on it. It was bad cause the lures were all rusted...

Shopping cart, and a HUGE turtle on an A rig

i used to fish a pier near my house every weekend, i snagged a brand new cotton cordel lure, with 10 feet of line on it, my hook caught the line tie split ring, one in a million i thought, later that day i called my dad and told him i snagged a lure that was new he told me he lost his new black and chrome cotton cordel 2 days ago at that pier, i am still wondering what were the odds...

I river fish a few times a year so iv hooked some stuff. A little kids bike,lawn chair, old pull tab Old Style can, a shoe (best fight ever), a cat fish rod and reel with catfish attached.

You really haven't lived life to it's fullest until you've caught a shopping cart in current!

Two thinks:

An 18 lb carp last year and a friends brow with a jig. Good thing I had a surgical blade and a steady hand. Never even left a scar.

A bat last year while throwing a spinner at night it was screaming as I was bringing it in had my wife with me an them she started to scream

My boss! Not a good idea.

we finally got a divorce, but thank for bringing up very painful memories

Nasty Snapping turtles the size of trashcan lids and carp 30-40 lbs.

A HUGE freshwater clam shell in Meadow Grounds Lake, central PA. It was around 11" in length and 4" high. My dad and I almost thought it was fake. That lake is loaded with freshwater clams, some big ones too!

No camara back in those days, And way before cell phones. I know it was in the news. Along with papers. But thats about it, Plus I know it happend and would not wish that on anyone. That was back when there was no phone calls in the boat or Camara's for me anyways. I was a river rat and country boy. Grew up on the Tn River 4 miles down stream from Pickwick dam.

A goose the other day. Crossed my line and got tangled in the hook.

A goose that flew right in the path of my spinnerbait

A snapping turtle the size of a jeep 15'' rim and 235 tire. It was tooth and claw all the way in and he fought better than any LMB i ever caught. I didn't get my hook back so i cut the line. We have anothersnapper thats about 4' in diameter (shell) it has a head the size of a human head. I hooked up with it once and when the head came up my son said it was a log in the water. I said its the head of a turtle, a very large turtle.

Turtles i can deal with its the very aggressive water snakes is what i hate.
