strangest things caught?

[baboosicbass08]

Caught a pretty big snapping turtle a few years ago, and while fishing with some friends a few years ago i got snagged on something big and we went up the bridge to see if we could see what i was stuck on then we noticed i was hung up on a mongoose bicycle haha, guess i'll have to switch to heavier line next time i go there lol

[DADto4]

Over the years I also have snagged many things like fishing poles,beer cans,lots of old line,1 snapping turtle and a 5 #anchor with 50' of line that I still use today!

By far the strangest thing caught was by my wife.

We were trolling for stripers and she snagged a plano tackle wallet full of Strike King spinner baits!.....All in great shape!

Nothing strang, but there was this one time my rod fell into the water. I expected it to be gone forever, but I caught it after 2 hours of fishing. I was pretty surprised.

Caught two alligators in 2 years.  Snagged one on a 1/4 oz ballhead jig, the other took a black senko and made a heckuva run before the line gave up.

Didn't catch him, but had a bald eagle dive for a crazy crawler I was flinging a few years ago.  Mid air, I stopped the spool and yanked back really hard.  I don't think he missed it by more than 5 feet.  Glad he missed.

[bass or bass ?]

One day while fishing off the Deerfield Beach fishing pier in Florida, I caught a seagull while casting a Mirro-lure. The gull caught it in mid air while on the cast. I had to fight it down out of the air. Nasty little son of a gun! Had to cut the line to keep from being bitten.     Happy fishing.

I caught my buddies head once...he screamed like a little girl. Teach him to stand in the middle of the boat.

Had a mallard duck chase my top water once and caught a T-shirt on a crankbait as well as a old fish basket. ;D

B**** ate my friggin' brand new Bomber...  :'(

[little_stephen]

past the snake i caught the one time i just got another. i basically pulled myself & my canoe over to a HUGE branch that had sunk when i hung a jig on it just before it oo old to fish 2 weeks ago.     I muscled the monster up outta 5feet or so of water to be suprised that the branch was longer than my canoe.             THANK GOD FOR BERKLEY FIRELINE! that thing was a monster, i used another rod tip to bust my jig free and watched that big old branch sink down and turn up a ton of silt when it hit bottom! so i basically like to say that i reeled in half a tree!    ;D

Me and some buddies were fishing a small lake and one of my friends lost a good bass on a crankbait when it wraped him up around a tree. Later that week I caught the same bass. It still had his crankbait in its mouth (a shad rap to be exact). I got the crankbait out and gave it back to my friend. The bass weighed 3'8. I also caught several turtles, carp (on lures), frogs, salamanders, I also caught a cardboard cup holder you get a drivethru. When I pulled it went sideways and if I lost it I would have sworn it was a big bass.

I have caught a baby alligator, several alligator snapping turtles over 75#, 50# paddlefish, and I almost caught an owl on Sunday  ;D

[Bassboss]

A snapping turtle on a crank bait, after I got it in, it continued swallowing the crank bait!! Dumb @$$ turtles!! ;D

[frogtog]

I think I posted this a few months ago. I caught a dead man that had been missing for three months. Then about two months ago I watched two plans run into each other and crash in the river about a quarter mile from me.

The idea of a rock isn't strange but what happened while catching the rock. We were fishing Clear Lake here in California and fishing an area called Bass Alley, there is a really great break there. I was throwing a deep diving crankbait, when it stopped dead in it's tracks. I set the hook and the fight was on. What had happened the rock became dislodged from were it was at and started down the break, well I thought I had a world class fish on that bait it gave me everything I wanted and then some. Well long story short, my partner had the net ready and then we saw the rock. I did land it by the way. I was almost perfectly round an was covered with small holes and both treble hooks had a hold of it and it wasn't getting away. I venture to say it was probably 6 lbs, but it seemed much more during the "fight".

Much to my chagrin, I landed a bag of rocks. Apparently someone had tried to bait an area and used a plastic mesh bag, the type oranges are sold in, and filled the bag with rocks to make it sink. I snag this thing on the retrieve, reel in about a foot of line and my drag starts going crazy. I guess I had moved the bag enough to dislodge it, and the bag goes slidding into the abyss. Folks along the bank thought I was reeling in the monster of the day. There was quite a bit of laughter when the bag broke the surface.

[The Rooster]

Hooked a white duck while fishing in a pond.  Casted a nightcrawler and it got too near the duck and it came charging after it so he got hooked right in the tongue.  I had to reel him in, hold him by the neck and cut the hook off to pull it out before letting him go again.  He put up quite a fight until I got hold of his neck and then he was quiet as a mouse and fought no more.  He was glad to get loose when I was done with him though.

Otherwise, I've caught a rock once in the same manner as others have said, had a small hole in the side and my hook hit it just right.  

I reeled in a log once.  Was several feet long, hooked it solid but it was giving fairly easily so I pulled on it until it came into view and saw what it was.  I was disappointed, I thought I might have had a monster fish on that was too big to swim fast.  

And of course, I've caught clothes before.  Shirts, socks, shoes, swimsuits, panties......I don't think I've caught any pants yet though. ;D

Clam on a white spinnerbait.

[fishfordollars]

Didn't catch it, but three ducks were flying toward me and as they got closer two veered off. The other kept coming and hit the water three feet from my boat stone dead. I netted him and he was shot up pretty bad. I threw him in the cooler. Don't remember what I ever did with him.

[macmaster761]

i caught a good sized chocolate labrador one time.  We were trolling striper diving cranks, and pulled up on shore to stretch our legs from the long kayak paddle when the dog saw the moving crankbait attached to my rod and went for it.  It got the hook right through the lip and the fight ensued...  

[BamaBassn78]

Catfish on cranks, spinnerbaits. Caught a cooler with a Poe's I wasnt loosing that lure, the cooler put a good fight the hooks were dug in to the handles also several rods and reels. Lots of wood and rocks. Funny how the trebles find the holes in the rocks.

Does this qualify?

Caught it dropshotting in 40 feet with a 4" worm, and a 3/8 oz QuickDrop!

Guess!

[Sam]

Mark,

The fish qualifies if it is the only fish you have ever caught.
