The Weirdest Thing?

My weirdest thing this summer was a post I made in early summer.  The link is below.

I was drifting for walleye using a worm harness and started getting bit.  I set the hook and started reeling in.  All of a sudden the fish got real heavy.  I figured he saw the boat and got spooked.  I got him closer to the boat, and saw his belly.  My buddy had the net and we realized we saw the belly cause there was a nice size pike tearing up my fish.  The first fish (a smallmouth) was on the back hook of the harness.  The pike hit him again and I set the front hook on the pike.  The pikes teeth cut the rear hook off but we netted the pike.  He was a little over 5 pounds.  It all happened in a matter of seconds and it was pure chaos on the boat.  Neither one of us ever expected any of that.  Craziest thing I ever saw while fishing.

Well I was on  my boat fishing when I looked over and saw the biggest bass I had ever seen floating on the surface flopping around and I looked closer and it had the biggest bluegill I had ever seen half way down his mouth.......I drove over thier hoping to get them both out of the water and get a picture but rite when I  got thier the bluegill must have made it down his throat because the bass went under ;D

This was about 10 years ago on Okeechobee. My Dad and I were shiner fishing on the south end of the lake and he catches a nice 7+lbs bass. We forgot the camera, so we stick the fish in the livewell while planning to release it later after taking some pics when we are done with the spot. Im in the back of the boat and periodically check the livewell to make sure the fish is doing OK. Every time I peek in the livewell the water gets dingier and nastier. At this point I have no idea what is going on. Eventually, when I look one more time, there is something floating in the tank with the bass. The fish had eaten a full-sized adult red wing blackbird and had regurgitated it in the livewell. Gotta repsect the predator that is the LMB

Watched impulsive nephew (in his late forties, old enough to know better) fail to resist enticing a snapping turle wih his bass bait.  He thought he saw the turtle eat the Rapala, but it turned out to be hooked in the front right foot.  Probably when the turtle felt the lure, she tried to wipe it out of her mouth.  Nephew maneuvered turtle to the dock, where it was netted, and as it tried to get out of the net, the hook came loose from the foot (paw? claw? hand?) and stuck in the turtle's butt.  Now things were very dangerous.  Who is the hero?  Why, the nephew's older sister, my niece (doh), who at risk of fingers got hold of the lure and snapped it free of the snapper.  I am sitting in a boat nearby, unable and unwilling to help, except with this sage advice:  "You do know that is one of the more dangerous critters in Michigan, kiddies."  doh again.  And it was:  this was a very old, very big snapping turtle, easily capable of taking away a good chunk of someone's hand.  What was weird about this?  My nephew, of course!

One more:  Little Brother (age 65) caught an enormous bowfin right next to the boat.  When it hit his lure, it made such a concussion that I got quite wet!  It then proceeded to turn the boat (12" Alumacraft) around.  We landed and released it--a big ol' cow 'fin she was.
