Weirdest bait you caught a fish with

[-t0pwater.fish#n-]

Hey guys I've heard a couple of entertaining stories of how people catch bass on weird and interesting lures...my curiosity has been piqued.

The weirdest for me is when one of my friends cut off a strap from a jock-strap wacky rigged it and caught a 1.5lb bass.

I have personally caught bluegill and bass with jellybellys too.

What have you guys caught on weird bait?

[Fish Man]

my wierdest was a jig head with a spinner(like the ones on beetle spins) atached and cut off parts of a plastic lizard,artificail bloodwor,and i thinka samll plastic grub....caught several large bluegill on it

Once i caught a fish with my hands.....

Is there anything you cant catch bluegill on? I've caught them on bread, meat, beads, bee and grasshopper parts...hell, i caught a few on just a hook.

I once witnessed my fishing partner catch a bass on a gummi worm (texas rigged).

exactly what weknowhowtolive said.. bluegill will eat almost anything.. even some nice shiny hooks anything that looks like its worthwhile, theyll attack it

spark plug w/ a treble pinched into the gap.  Bluefish will eat anything moving.

How about plain wood?

my son was fishing a grub on a jig head once.  he started joking about eating my plastic worms (he is 4) and eating the gummy worms.  that led to me hooking up the gummy worm like a shaky head.  he patiently fished it (patient for him anyways) and then right as he was reeling it in for the last few feet it got smashed by...well it turned out to be about 9 inches but we both got a kick out of it.

A friend of mine was fishing for carp and he saw bass busting shad on the surface. Since he didn't have any lures with him he took one of those bite indicator bells that you can clip to your rod tip, attached a treble and caught 3lb. bass!

I've caught gar by putting a bobber right up against a bare hook.

my friend caught a 10lb catfish on a ritz bitz cracker

[Guest ncbass24]

Iv'e caught Bluegill on bare hooks and chewed up bubble gum. I also caught a 3 pounder with a balled up piece of bread. My weirdest catch, though, was a 7 pound bass with my bare hands.

GUMMY WORM RED/BLUE

[FishTank]

I got some of these marine worms from a buddy in Florida many years ago.  They are the meanest and nastiest live bait I have ever used.  I only had a dozen and they were gone in about an hour.  I caught a fish on everyone I had.  The thing is, I have never seen them since.  I was surprised to find them on the interenet.

Geez...those things could give a guy nightmares

I've used those things in saltwater and they are mean! They actually bite you when you try to hook them!

[captaininsaneo]

what are they?

[Fishin Phil]

Those are tube worms. In America you see more bloodworms and sandworms.

I caught a decent catfish on a crankbait.  How?  I backlashed my cast and I was digging out the mess while the crank was floating on the surface.  I actually thought, "please don't bite that bait while I'm digging out this not".  About that time I feel the rod tip twitch a bit so I pulled on the rod a little.  Sure enough, there was a fish on it.  So I had to reel over the backlash thinking I had a good bass.  When it got to the boat....."what the....it's a catfish!"

My buddy from Lake Charles, LA was with me and he said he had never seen a catfish hit a crankbait much less a floating crankbait.  I guess since the fish thought it was a dead fish, it was food for him.  Stupid bottom feeder.....
