Cravin Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I was curious to hear the odd things experienced or caught while fishing! I seen someone hook a frog and another guy pull a fishing pole from the depths. I pull in some broke off line with a live catfish still attached. I'm sure this wont even scratch the surface of odd thing that have happen. Quote
KYbassman67 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Caught numerous box turtles, but recently caught a MONSTER soft-shell turtle off the bottom of the licking river with a hotdog, released with no problem luckily. Also caught a large water moccasin snake :-? while wading in the rapids of the licking. Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted November 27, 2008 Super User Posted November 27, 2008 Pulled out two rod and reels this summer in working condition. Quote
bladeslinger Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Just like vintage cartoons, I reeled up a boot once. I couldn't stop laughing for about fifteen minutes ;D Quote
Tom Bass Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I have caught (snagged) a variety of strange stuff over the years. I caught a tire, a pair of shorts, a few junky fishing poles, lots of sticks...but the wierdest thing I ever caught was a small rock. This little rock had a little hole in it and my crank bait's hook found it. The rock now rests in my wife's little aquarium. The funny part about catching this rock was that my friend caught 9 bass that day and all I got was a rock....I felt like Charlie Brown at Halloween. ;D Quote
Cousin Vinny Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 My son caught an Oscar in the everglades last year while we were LMB fishing. The guide said most people have them as fish tank pets and then when they get too big, they releae them into the wild. Then odly enough while fishing with a friend this summer, he also pulled up an Oscar. They can get pretty big in a large body of water. I caught a 24 inch snapping turtle this past spring and promtly cut the line before landing it. I have caught a number of old Mack dump truck parts at an old gravel pit I use to fish as a youngster, to inlcude an old air cleaner, dash board parts, and a tire or two Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted November 27, 2008 Super User Posted November 27, 2008 My dad has hooked a beaver before. Quote
kikstand454 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 ive caught a pelican.... and ive missed catching an owl several times with a buzz frog. ;D Quote
Super User T-rig Posted November 28, 2008 Super User Posted November 28, 2008 I didn't catch this ;D but I think the pic is pretty cool! And I thought Switzerland is neutral. ;D Quote
bassfisher2 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I caught a 5 pound note while fly fishing in England a few years back. A 6 foot turtle off the coast of Gambia on a prawn - after 20 minutes I cut the line , every time I thought I had him he would come up for air and then charge off revitalised ! Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted November 28, 2008 Super User Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think the deck of that aircraft carrier is long enough to get that FA-18 up and flying.LOL Falcon Quote
Super User T-rig Posted November 28, 2008 Super User Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think the deck of that aircraft carrier is long enough to get that FA-18 up and flying.LOL Switzerland is a small country, so we use small aircraft carriers. ;D Quote
bassinri Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I could have cought, if I dint jerk the lure away very fast, a seagull with my MS Slammer. Its happened more than once too. Just shows you how well they move. Quote
fastcasterjo Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 went to the beach this summer and caught a 3 foot eel, a skate, and I was fishing on a dock and I look down and me and my buddy saw two manatee swim underneath the dock. needless to say, we pulled in our lines pretty quickly. ;D ;D Quote
Super User T-rig Posted November 28, 2008 Super User Posted November 28, 2008 Manta birostris I hope not as big as this! Quote
tritz18 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 A backpack. We wanted to open it hoping there was a stash of money in it but it was way to slimy and smelled terrible. Quote
Skunked in DR Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 A hat, a shopping cart and a seagull. I've luckily just avoided beavers and otters but both have come very close to getting snagged. Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 A turtle, old shirt, tree limb with three cranks in it and fishing line that when I pulled in had a chatter bait I had lost earlier in the year. Quote
BassinAssassin171 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 A seagull, a 40 inch softshell turtle, several alligator snappers, a few rods, a catfish on a fly , several newspapers, a padlock, an old tacklebox... but the best of all was when i snagged some fishing line that i pulled up to find attached to a jig which was still in the mouth of a 4 pound bass my friend had lost earlier that day ;D ;D ;D Quote
underwraps1 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Haha, I've only caught a shoe and a metal bar so far. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted November 28, 2008 Super User Posted November 28, 2008 I caught at least 1 rod and reel for about 4 years straight. The streak ended this year . One day a couple years ago while throwing a DD22 all day I brought up all sorts of stuff. Notables were a few old Coors cans and a pair of bra and panties. All were caught in about a 50 foot radius of one another. ;D Quote
