Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 5, 2015 Super User Posted January 5, 2015 I was fishing with a Squarebill Crankbait and had a snapping turtle swipe at it. I thought I had hooked up with a huge bass. But, I must have had sticky sharp hooks because they stuck him good in his bony mouth. Quote

Super User scaleface Posted January 5, 2015 Super User Posted January 5, 2015 One day I was fishing jigging spoons off the end of a boat ramp and catching the snot out of white bass. Also reeled in 2 wrist watches, a spinning rod and reel , and dip net. Just think what else is lying off boat ramps. Quote
tch2391 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Last fish of 2014 was accidental for me. Caught this guy on a red eye shad. Any walleye guys know if this is a walleye or saugeye? I guess we have both here in OH. Quote
adam lancia Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Fishinig for bass in Halifax with a crank bait and I caught a toothy little chain pickerel. I'm lucky I had my long needle nose pliers with me or I would have had to cut the line. They're teeth are at least in the sticky sharp range, if not sharper! Quote

I'm lucky I had my long needle nose pliers with me or I would have had to cut the line. They're teeth are at least in the sticky sharp range, if not sharper! They're incredibly sharp, I had never been cut by one until last week I caught a good sized one and as soon as I reached in the net to grab him he flopped and his teeth cut my thumb open pretty bad....

FunkJishing Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I remember being 15 fishing for scup with my dad and having a fish on my line when a duck grabs it. next thing i know it's a tug of war for my fish. Me V.S. a duck lol, that duck was strong but the fish finally slipped from his grasp as i got em' close enough to shore. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 5, 2015 Super User Posted January 5, 2015 Caught a spinnerbait that I had lost in a pond about three months earlier. It was still in good condition. Still use it today. Quote
Logan S Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I've caught pretty much every species in the waterways I fish accidentally while bass fishing, it's pretty normal...But one of the most surprising was this nice walleye I caught on a popper very early on the 2nd day of a tournament. I catch walleye pretty frequently while bass fishing, but this is the only one I've ever had come up to hit a popper. In practice I caught a 4 lb. LM on a popper off this same spot so needless to say, that's what I thought I had . It was still dark so I never even knew til it was a few feet from the net . A 4 lber on this lake goes a looooong way in a tournament so needless to say I was frustrated! Quote
Blues19 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Fishing a 2" grub on a 1/16 oz jig head with ultra light gear hooked into the back of something. I was running back and forth along the bank trying to not let it get off. My cousin saw it and said it looked about 3' long before the hook popped out of its back. I was throwing a crankbait, trying to get it under a willow and just barely hit a low hanging branch. I managed to pop the bait free and was reeling it in, but there was a vine on it. Turned out to not be a vine, but a neon green snake that I had hooked through the middle of the snake with both hooks. That joker was squirming like a worm when you first put the hook through it.

Any walleye guys know if this is a walleye or saugeye? I guess we have both here in OH. The splotches usually mean a saugeye in my experience. I catch them pretty often in a lake close to my house that has saugeye but no walleye in it. Quote
powerduster Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I feel really bad when I hook something other then a fish. Once, I hooked a turtle in the eye, which really sucked. I eventually got it off, and don't want to experience that again. Another time, I set the hook hard on a comorant, because I thought it was a fish that grabbed my popper. I was horrified, but the popper just slipped off within seconds and the bird was perfectly fine. Quote
