I was top water fishing the other day and a Blue Herring flew right up to my lure and tried to take it and fly away. We literally played tug of war for a good 10 seconds. Then it tried to spit it out of it's mouth but it was hooked on the trebbles. It finally shook it loose. I'm sure it injured it's tongue.

That was a trip!

Has anyone else caught anything weird like that while trying to fish???

I thought you meant a fish haha!

I cast a jig with a Rage Tail Space Monkey and while it was in the air, I caught sight of a Marsh Hen fying towards the area of where I had cast. It seemed to be in slow motion as I watched the jig smack the bird, which let out a started 'Squarwwwarrkkk", knocking it down out of the air and disappearing under the water. As my husband turned around at the birds noise, asking what on earth just happened, I was thinking maybe I'd killed it, & if not, I better start reellng it in so it doesn't drown,and how was I going to untangle it whn I get it to the boat? Just as I was reeling it in, it popped to the surface, giving me an angry bird glare, and squawking at me as it swam to the grass. Fortunately, i didn't have to unhook it after all.

- I was testing out some new gear at a river that runs through my local park. Some little kids chased several geese into the water and sure enough I caught myself a big ole Canadian goose.

- Fishing for gills I caught a 10 pound leatherback turtle. That was pretty neat.

- Caught a seagull fishing for crappies with my grandpa on a cane pole.

- When I first started fishing I caught my brother... hooked him right in the ear.

- The weirdest thing I've ever caught was a red Nintendo 64 controller. Caught it while cranking a stretch of the St. Joe river near my house.

I caught about a 15 lb turtle on a Carolina rig. He was none too happy as I was reeling him in. Thankfully I was able to shake the rig a few times and the plastic lizard fell out. Whew...thought I would lose a finger if I had to get the hook.

I've caught several seagulls freelining live shad for wipers during the winter time. The most frustrating part of the whole this is that the shad are usually on the surface because a wiper is chasing them but the gulls get them first Good thing is they usually don't fight much when you try to unhook them and never seem any worse off after being caught.

um i also recall u catching a pretty rock that u thought was a fish for a second

I was night fishing with a plastic worm. Made my cast to the bank and I felt that tap/tap/tap. I rared back and set the hook on a Racoon. Man did it ever make a racket.

I woulda paid so much money to see that. I know that coon was madder than hell.

I was throwing top water next to grass and pulled in a water snake. Not poisonous but sure not a pleasant catch and release!

I used to think I was afraid of them as well, until I randomly had the urge to pick up a black rat snake on the road one day. Now I'm not afraid of them, but a musking snake smells terrible.

haha, its one thing i dont think i will ever overcome. poisonous or not, i want nothing to do with a snake.

one evening at Smith Mountain Lake, VA i was setting up to night fish on the dock at my aunt and uncles lake house. and my uncle had invited his deviant always in trouble nephew(not related to me) to do some work down there for him. he was pretty hammered. well, while setting up we saw a snake swimming across the water towards the shore. several minutes later he realized he forgot his chicken livers up at the house and went to get them. stepping off the dock and he saw the snake right there climbing into a barrel that was partially in the water that had a few alewives we had caught the night before.

so he pulls this snake out by the tail and starts messing with it on the edge of the dock where it meets land. he is pretty drunk and has this maniacal laugh going on while taunting the snake, which at this point is mad and coiled up with its head up like its ready to strike. im on the end of the dock, feeling trapped. the dude kicks the snake down the dock towards me and i start to freak out and jump on the boatlift and am hanging on to the side of the boat ready to climb in it. the snake makes it halfway down the dock. i get back on the end of the dock, and dude is still taunting this snake. i see his big winchester deer knife on the end of the dock, pick it up and start cussing him out saying if he kicked that snake at me one more time i was gonna cut the hell out of him with his own knife and he saw i was dead serious. he kicked the snake towards the water but it was able to hang on the dock by its tail and wrapped its body around and sat its head up on the dock while its body hung off the side. the guy said he was too drunk to fish and walked up to the house and passed out. i ran by the snake, couldve walked lol, but ran by and grabbed a long pipe that was laying on the dock, took it and pushed the snake into the water and that was the end of that. did end up having a great night fishing, tore up the channel cats, they were in their spawning and feeding.

I almost caught a duck. I've also caught lawn chairs, tires, and other junk. :-)

[hendrix190]

ive caught several alligators, turtles, snakes, eels, a bullfrog, a house cat, a couple sharks, a sea gull( it was like flying a kite on a fishing rod) , a duck, a dolphin, the wierdest though, which is similar to another posters on the thread was one day when fishing with my gf, she casts, unknowing at that very moment a large domesticated duck comes flying from behind to directly infront of us at probably 40 mph. My gf saw it at the last mintue and engaged the reel to hopefully stop the lure from meeting the duck. It was too late the lure landed directly on my ducks back and snagged it. This was a very strong duck, hooking it didnt slow it down one bit, it kept flyin and ran all the line outta my gfs reel then broke it where it was tied to the spool.

I forgot to add that my dad caught himself in the lip.
