funniest things caught

I've caught bullfrogs on a Tiny Torpedo before. That can be a lot of fun.

This story got me laughing so hard I was in tears.

One day I was fishing for bass and casting a crankbait along some docks in the river. I heard something twitching on the surface and could see a little comotion so I cast in that direction. I was trying to cast past the comotion and reel the bait by the area, but not being the most accurate caster in the world, I landed right in the middle and snagged something on the surface. I reeled it in and it was an open sandwich bag, and inside the bag wa a bluegill feeding inside the bag. For some reason, I figured he deserved his freedom that day and set him free. So how many of you have caught your fish already in the sandwich bag?

I wasn't fishing at the time, but I did bury a treble hook in my ear. Had a Yo-Zuri 5" crank bait hanging from my rear view mirror. Got in my truck to get something and when I jumped back out, I had buried one of the hooks, past the barb, in the cartilage on the top of my ear and yanked it down from the mirror. Grabbed my dikes and cut the lure off. Man, the nurse and doctor at the dock-in-the-box couldn't stop laughing. I, however, did not think it was funny. Never bled, though. Tetanus shots suck.

This isn't my story, but just a relay from my buddy. He told me he went fishing at Lake Perris, (Southern California). Long story short, he happened to hook someones car keys from the bottom while fishing. After getting back to the ramp in his float tube he noticed someone searching for something in the parking lot. Wait for it....you guessed it! He had caught THAT PERSONS KEYS! The craziest thing ever! The chances are so low, I can't even imagine! LOL

One of my own.....My dad and I were jigging for small bait fish while fishing for corvina in the salton sea one summer. I hooked another jig on the bottom right through the drilled hole on the top of the lure. In a sea 20 x 40 miles.... lol

My in-laws live at small retirement community in Florida, with nice size little pond scattered about. they are all linked together and to river also. So occasionally alligators come up in them. I'm not leting My kids get with 5-10 foot of the bank so I have to cast for them. So they are fishing for bluegills, when 3 foot or so gator swims up to floater and managed to hook him self in the tail. He's fishing with a walmart special that comes 4 lb cheap line and little gold #6 hooks, so I knew wasn't be a problem for us. hooked straighten and he swam away. I thought great now that over we can get back to fishing. stupid gator comes back and my little girl starts reeling he line in and the stupid thin crunched the floater.

I used to run big game offshore fishing charters out of louisiana. One saturday afternoon I had a client and his brother on board who instructed me, being a young captain and all, that they were "professionals" and just needed me to take them out to the oil rigs and stay out of their way... Ran about 70 miles to the deep water and they started jigging for tuna(one on either side of my center console) while I was setting up a chum slick. Moments later they both hooked up simultaneously, screaming that they had monster yellowfins. One would reel and reel while the others fish was slowly pulling drag and then he would start to gain some line while the others fish would turn and run under the boat and slowly pull out some line. I realized pretty quickly what was going on, but to respect their wishes I let them figured out on their own that they had hooked each other. They were so focused that it took them a good little while. They heaved and heaved and cussed about their fish not wanting to budge but I guess my snickering got to loud. They tucked their tails and swallowed their pride after that and we got along well. We ended up having a good trip with several 3 digit yellowfin and a man in the blue suit(Blue Marlin).

i have caught a couple railroad stakes. I once hooked a rod, but it got to the surface, and it spit the hook.

Best I ever herd was a buddy who cast a chicken liver on the far bank of the creek. He did not realize it until he caught a wild cat. Critter was not very happy after being drug into the water by a lip full of treble hook. Not much fun getting the hook out.

My Wife and 2 daughters went fishing in a back canal in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Water about 15' where it went under the bridge but deeper as it approached, and not very wide. Current kept us casting and the young daughter starts howling and cranking and we all got excited. It clears the water and I'm glad I was a few steps back cause all of a sudden they all 3 break camp in a hurry up the hill. She had somehow gotten a hook into a FL Lobster and when it cleared the water the antennae started flopping around and that was it. Rod in the dirt and a trail of dust behind. She has always been my fishing buddy and I rib her about it regularly. Lost the Lobster, dang it!
