What's the strangest thing you've caught on the end of your line?

[NorDoor]

I pulled in a video camera case while fish'n in a northern Wisconsin lake.It was empty

[KU_Bassmaster.]

I pulled in a bra and a pair of panties on separate casts (about 15 minuets apart).  I also pulled in an old old old Coors Light can on the same day.  Coincidence??? Hmmmmmm

All were caught on DD22's

Not really strange but here goes:

Shore fishing somewhere (saltwater) and was using shrimp as bait. I was little and thought i got my line snagged on the bottom... turns out i caught 2 crabs on one hook! Good sized too!

CRABS>>>>>>>>>>> Sorry wrong line, my mistake

Saltwater: A baby squid. I was fishing with a Got-Cha plug in a canal for whatever felt like biting. I set my rod down on the dock with my lure still in the water, so I could eat some of my sandwhich. When I was done I reeled in my lure there was a squid hooked through the head on the back treble.

Freshwater: An old umbrella on a finesse worm.  :-?

i once caught a grass shrimp that was about this |-------| long. i was fishing for white perch in tidal water with inline spinners on my ultralite. well i was fishing the spinner over a grass bed and then i brought it in i noticed what i thought was a piece of grass on the trebel hook. when i looked closer it was a tiny little shrimp. i hooked it right thru the side on one of the hooks. i thought that was cool!

I caught a lizardfish in outer-banks NC. It was about a foot long with little half legs. I caught a goby in NY and it oozed foam out of its eyes

Not really strange, but I had an embarassing moment during a tournament when I fought a sunken jugline for a couple of minutes. It had just the right combination of air and water that it kinda bobbed up and down as I was bringing it in. I thought I had the money fish and fought it all the way to the boat.

I saw this coming while i was typing my message but i proceeded to post it anyway!  ;D

I caught a 6'6" MHVY baitcasting rod with a 5500 C3 attached to it.  The rod was a Quantum of some type, it was wasted.  The reel needed some work but I got it going.

I seem to recall a thread similar to this some time ago and there were at least three people that had caught a body.Me I only caught a pair of hunting boots.On separate casts.

           Thank goodness the guy wasn't still in them. ;D

[NorDoor]

What were they using for bait?Sure could'nt have been a Lucky Craft!

That's hilarious ;D Something I would do for sure!

My little brother caught a Zebco rod with a rat l trap on it. He caught it on a ratltrap.

Speaking of catching lures I was throwing a small countdown Rapala into a brushpile and hooked one just like it 8-).

[Ifish4keeps]

i once was fishing in a little pond from shore and i was using a frog lure, a fish hit it when underwater with my bait and then all of a sudden it felt bigger... i reeled it all the way in and there were two things on my hook, a nice 3 pounder and an old beach ball with a hole in it.

[Other.]

A tire (Thatwas a pain having to reel in!!! I replaced my line after reeling it in)

and also a crab pot but thats an other story on why you should not jump down from a dock to go retrieve a crab pot  

[Long Mike]

A four foot 'gator. I cut the line before I got him to the boat.

[Redsyn]

Saltwater---> sea stars, and crabs too.

Freshwater---> BAT!!!!   not the ones you swing to hit a ball. a real bat. It looked like a wet rat. It was nasty. i had a crappie jig head on a trout setup w/ 4lb test at night. cast it....didn't hear or see a splash. then I started to reel in the line and i felt like i was draging something and it was a bat that got caught/tangled on the line. Seeing how bass like to eat live bait, I cast it into the lake and it was making some splashes on top of the water but no takers.  :
