RSM789 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Most of the fish we catch are pretty cool, they do their part putting up a fight and swim away quickly when released, apparently holding no grudges for the experience. Some fish may be a little inconsiderate, getting some slime on your clothes or hocking up a freshly eaten shad. A few others have a bit of attitude, slapping their tail on the water as they swim away in an effort to get you wet & give you a "fish middle finger". Then there is the rare fish that is just flat out rude, one like the one I caught yesterday. My little Pond Prowler is only a couple of months old and the carpeting I installed a few weeks ago is in pristine shape. I treat it like one treats any new vehicle, obsessing with keeping it clean & sharp. Early yesterday morning, a 12 lb. channel catfish (picture below) interrupted my bass fishing when he chose to eat my Roboworm. I was if I was water skiing as he dragged my boat around the cove I was in and peeled the 10 lb. test line off my reel. His big mouth was an easy target for my fish grips and soon I was holding him up for a picture & weighing. What I didn't expect was that this was the Al Bundy of catfish, a rude, crass individual who had no respect for others belongings. Without warning, he suddenly dropped a deuce right on my brand new marine carpeting. Now I'm not talking some little fish poop, this was a road apple that would have made a Clydesdale wince!! I bet the fish lost a pound of weight after relieving himself on my boat. I got him back in the water & I could swear he was giggling as I let him go. Luckily the mess cleaned up easy and my pride & joy fishing deck is no worse for the wear. Have you ever encountered any fish that had no respect for you? 2 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted November 9, 2014 Super User Posted November 9, 2014 Maybe you scared the crap out of him and was thinking you were going to put him on a stringer and take him home destined for the deep fryer. Quote
camo Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Where's the pic of thee dookie? Haha funny story had me cracking up. Quote
RSM789 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 I was so shocked by the size of the turd, all I could think of was to get it out of my boat. Only later did I think I should have taken a picture of it. I'm sure all those who have had a hand in getting technology to its current state would be proud to know that I wanted to use a smartphone to take pictures of a fish poop and then utilize the internet to tell the world about it...

desmobob Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I've never really thought about it until reading your post but now, thinking about it, I think it's pretty amazing that out of the untold numbers of fish of all kinds that I've caught in the last 40+ years of fishing, I don't remember one ever pooping on me or my boat/float tube/canoe/kayak/etc. On the other hand, over the years, I've probably been peed on by hundreds or more bluegills and sunfish, though (I'm not sure if it's really pee, but I prefer to think so...). Tight lines, Bob Quote
DFrench97 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 When catching spawning chinook salmon in the river it's not unusual to get ejaculated on... Quote
Skeeter Dan Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 It could have been worse. It could have pooped on you insted. Quote
Chief 2 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I have had more than one Pickerel crap all over my boat. They like to bleed a lot too. Quote
Bassun Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 LOL! I've been slimed, peed on, bled on, stung by cats, spashed and smacked... not never have I been pooped on. That's epic! All told, I would rather have a deuce dropped on my deck then stung by another cat though... IDK if it's rude or not, but hit hurts like the dickens! Quote
mjseverson24 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I get pooped on all the time while crankbait fishing and instead of lipping them into the boat I cradle them, apparently that squeezes them and well the rest is history... I usually dont realize it until the person I am fishing with says something like what is that all over your shirt??? Mitch Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 10, 2014 Super User Posted November 10, 2014 LOL. I caught a 3 pound bass last year that must've been in the middle of using the crapper when he decided to eat the worm I threw at him. Got him in the kayak, right over my lap to measure and weigh 'im and GOOD GRAVY what was that STENCH!! I turned his belly toward me and yeah. There it was and there it fell. On my lap. Wet bass crap. Talk about an awful smell. Fortunately I was done fishing - he was caught at the boat launch where my truck was... So I can relate to your story. Quote
MO_LMB Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah, gotta watch out for those trout. They'll squirt their man juice all over the place. Quote
