wnspain Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Caught a beaver while fly fishing the beaver dams in Vedauwoo Wilderness, WY. Â Wasn't paying attention to anything but the trout that were plentiful so I didn't see him until he was too close to get my line out of his way. It was a juvenile so not terribly big (or heavy) but did put quite a strain on the 3 wt. fly rod I was using. Long story short I snagged him right behind the right fore leg, needless to say he wasn't too happy about it. As I got him closer, it dawned on me that the hook had to come out. I quickly decided to snip the leader, saving myself and the beaver from further harm. Â 1 Quote

desmobob Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I was fly fishing for striped bass off South Beach at Cape Cod one spring and hooked something really, really big... it just swam away without even a headshake, peeling the line, then the backing, off my reel.  I thought I was going to get spooled when the run suddenly stopped.  Out near where I figured my fly was, a seal surfaced.  I thought "No way... can't be."  I gave the line a good tug and sure enough, the seal took off and the reel started screaming again.  I cinched down on the spool and broke him off.

Florida Cracker2 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I had a pelican dive-bomb my lure. Getting him free was a real fiasco. Had to straddle him, pry open his bill, and unhook the lure from his throat. We both survived the ordeal. Â Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted March 23, 2016 Super User Posted March 23, 2016 You ever see an old cartoon of a guy catching a boot? I did that. Caught a boot; the old style buckle up rain boot with a crankbait. Was looking around for Wiley E Coyote. Also caught a cheap aluminum folder ladder, on a senko. Quote

Been there done that, got the welts. Once while hiking to a small lake in the middle of nowhere in Michigan I found a nice clearing in the trees and decided to take a break and eat lunch. little did I know that the clearing was full of fire ant holes! I had sat down so I had the fire ants way up my pants, on face, and everywhere else. I am glad no one was around cause I ripped all my clothes off and ran out of there as fast as I could.

Wbeadlescomb Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Hooked a brick on a football jig once. When I set the hook it started rolling down the bank. Felt like a 10lb spot Quote

FloridaBasser1 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Last summer I was fishing a small pond next to the St. Johns river. I had a KVD frog on, and IÂ tossed it to one end of the pond and after a few twitches a Red Tail Hawk swooped down and grabbed it. For 10 or 12 seconds he was holding on to it and wouldn't let go, thank god he finally let it go! It was definitely the wildest thing I've caught. Quote

You win the Internet for today with that response. I agree with you I wouldn't want to duplicate that catch either! 1 Quote

I was waiting for someone to pull up a gun or a body. That must have been awful. I imagine bodies don't look so great after being in the water for a few days Quote
tbone1993 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016  When I first started fishing tournament it was pretty cool to start catching shells. You always hear guys saying to fish shell beds and its a good way to find fish. I was snagging small ones and then I ran into one the size of my hand. That was pretty natural but some of the unnatural things I've snagged are a pole, my own lost bait, socks, trash bags,beer bottle, and much more. There's trash everywhere and it really sucks. The coolest thing was a giant metal table. I snagged it in murky water one day and didnt know what it was. I thought it was a metal piece of the dock. When the water cleared the next day I was able to see an entire outdoor table. No others near it to match just right in the water, I'll post a picture down the road if its still there. ^ Couple weeks and the hooks on the spro still didnt rust out. I don't believe in the "hook will rust out" mentality. Quote
Fish the Mitt Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I must not fish as much as any of you (which I don't believe to be the case) or I fish in some boring waters because the only thing I've ever pulled out of the water is a sandal..... Quote

bassguytom Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I caught a Commorant under water on a crankbait one time. My son caught a women's high heel shoe one time that looked fairly new. We thought there might be a body down there also so we called the cops and they took our statement but never did anything for some reason. I guess nobody was reported missing. We call that part of the lake dead ladies corner and don't fish it anymore. We are still a little freaked out by catching a high heel that didn't look like it was under water long. Quote
