ObeeZee Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 I was on the delta bass finishing and decided to punch some grass edges and this is what I caught! 7 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted October 21, 2017 Super User Posted October 21, 2017 That's pretty crazy... always assumed they'd stick to the main channels as they're pushing through to their river. Congrats on the surprise! Quote
Super User Gundog Posted October 21, 2017 Super User Posted October 21, 2017 Man that is crazy. I gotta ask what lure you caught it on. Quote
ObeeZee Posted October 21, 2017 Author Posted October 21, 2017 Ya it was crazy! I was just off the main Channel in about 20’ of water. I was punching with 3/4” oz bullet and Rage Tail menace in black & blue Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 21, 2017 Global Moderator Posted October 21, 2017 Not exactly, but I caught a big male stocker rainbow on a 1/2oz jig flipping bushes in a creek off the main lake once. Weird bite, missed him two cast in a row before I stuck him. 1 Quote

When it hit my bait I thought it was just a big bass then it just took off! I didn’t realize what it was tell it came flying out of the water like a rocket. 3 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted October 23, 2017 Super User Posted October 23, 2017 That is awesome! I hooked a musky punching in Minnesota, not that shocking to hook one in that situation but it is a very intense event when a big mean fish of that size is hooked on the equipment you use to punch in the areas you punch. And pound for pound a salmon can kick a musky's butt! Bet you had your hands full! Quote
ObeeZee Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Ya he definitely didn’t want to come in, gave me a pretty good fight. My brother and I were Laughing about it later cause he kept telling me to lift my rod but I yelled “ I can’t” what a fun experience, never been salmon fishing because I’m just not into it but after this I just might rethink my thoughts about salmon fishing. 1 Quote
Turkey sandwich Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 This is probably one of the craziest "accidental" catches I've ever heard of. And it's awesome. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 23, 2017 Super User Posted October 23, 2017 In spring time, I sometimes catch steelhead and browns, fishing docks. Always a surprise, but this way before the weeds come in. That catch is really odd! Cool! Quote
BassB8Caster Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 that is awesome! That must put a big bass fight to shame. Quote

That funny because my brother and I were laughing after I caught it saying how do we go back to catching bass after that fight. Almost seemed that they just came in without a fight after that. Quote
BassB8Caster Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Thats kind of like going down to mexico to fish for those monsters. Then going back home and catching 4 to 5lbers (dinks). Quote
