Well, at least I caught something!

[Bassboy15]

A six foot gator. I didn't try to get him into the boat. I cut the line when he was about ten feet away. Six foot gators and twelve foot boats do not provide for a harmonious relationship between man and beast.

:-/ is....is....is that like....right?...a gator, maybe i'm a wimp becuase i'm frm kansas...but stilll.. :-?

I caught a pelican and my dad on consecutive casts.  Neither were very pleased! >

[Jerk Bait]

I casted out once right as some duck's were flying by.

I wrapped my line around one of them, OH Yeah, that

was fun!

I caught a Turtle too.  This wasn't your standard painted

turtle, this was indeed a snapper.  He kept my lure.

My most favorite thing to catch is the almighty Weed Bass.

This is a far superior species to master.  The have a large

variety, and come in many different shape's and sizes.

The Weed Bass seems to be attracted to every lure and jig

imaginable.  They can hit on Texas rigged worm's, Crank Bait's

Spinner's, just about anything.  

Once you have landed several Weed Bass in a row, then and

only then can you say that you have mastered the art of

catching the Weed Bass.

I caught a real bass inside a weed bass today.  ;D

I caught like 3 jelly fish at once in a castnet catching baitfish at the beach once. I guess thats about the only cool thing.

[RoLo]

I foul-hooked a Mermaid once!

But my net wasn't large enough, so I had to use the gaff.

Man, they sure have a nasty disposition!

Never give a bait to a critter. They are too expensive! Gators are a regular: play them like you would a bass.

Osprey, Hawks, Sea Gulls, Terns, Pelicans, Snakes - both friendly and unfriendly, Turtles, and more. The only critter we couldn't get the hook out of was a full grown adult otter.

Funny story.  

When I was a kid we were camping and fishing a river in Indiana.  We fished all week, while on vacation, and never had one stinking bite.  It was horrible.  The last day there, while bottom fishing, I got a hit.  Lifted the rod and set the hook.  Man it felt like a nice fish.  Moving in and out of the current.  Diving and then coming up, but never jumping.  When I finally got the bait to the shore, to my chagrin, it was a piece of law chair webbing!!

Looked like it was from a chase lounge, it was pretty long.  The way it cut through the current was just like a fish!!

We still laugh about that to this day.

My scalp, a seagull, all sorts of trash, my sister, my wife, my brother,  and I actually caught an old sunken boot just like you see on the cartoons.

[RattFish79]

Caught some kind of snake the other day.....not sure what kind possibly a copperhead or maybe just a water snake but I saw him sunning on the rocks and I was using a beetlespin and for some reason just like a little kid I dropped the lure right beside him a few times then right on top of him and sure enough he struck at it but thankfully he didn't keep a hold of it.   All I could think of was oh crap what have I done now.

[OBX-BASS]

to 2nd avids story...me and my brother were fishing for some really small fish in the pamlico sound...i forgot what we the fish actually were called since it was years ago but we were using bread on a hook as bait and one swooped down and grabbed it and he fought it like it was a fish and reeled him in unhooked him and let him flyh away.....haha d**n seagull was ripping drag....my brother said he wasnt loosing a good hook to a stupid seagull.....

[PILL]

I caught my friend once, a squid, a dogfish, some trees, almost my dog, and almost a couple of squirrels.

The squid was pretty funny. It was dark out and I pulled my hook outa the ocean and it was squirting water at me. I used that squid for bait to try and catch a Gaff, but I got hung up on and underwater cable...

[samurai361]

I get a limit of those every time out.  Squirrel fish once in a while too.

I caught a stick once.

That would be a Fish Stick ;D

[Catt]

Several alligators ranging in size from 12 to 4', they have a thing for Johnson's Spoons  

[FL_fisher]

I caught a small gator at night on a pop r boy did I think I had a big bass. You should have saw the look on my face when I bent down to lip the bass and I heard a hiss!

I have also caught a snake bird after it few into my rattle trap in mid air. The hooks never when into the bird but the line rapped around the birds legs and wing. These birds are STRONG swimmers I got it to the boat and after a few mins of me dodging the beak i a had a safe release.

I caught a duck on a shad that I had on a bobber. I went into the house for a few mins to get something to eat and came back to find out that a duck eat my shad. It was one of those big black and white ducks with the turkey looking thing on its nose to.

a 30lb gar maybe not weird but it was scary looking.

Diamond back water snakes. caught two of them so far; one on senko, one on a toad. My wife got a copperhead on a senko. She had cast up on the bank about a foot, and the snake grabbed it before she could pull the bait back in the water. That was a bit more exciting than the water snakes.
