Ever catch a rock?

When I was about 12yrs old I was fishing with my parrents and their friends in lake erie by middle bass island. We were fishing for perch. There is a dropoff by the island which we would drift over and everyone would hook up. On one of the drift runs I bounced my bait off of the bottom and hooked a flat rock about 5" round and very flat with several holes in it. I thought I had a fish because it seemed to fight as I brought it up. To my suprise and everyone else it was a rock. I've cought many a fish and various tree parts but only one rock in my lifetime.

I caught a rock deep sea fishing once, pulled it up from about 200 feet down, probably weighed about 10 lbs. I would think it stretched my mono a good 50 feet bringing it up!

I tend to not focus on rocks lol!

I thought Charlie Brown joined the board Rofl

Yes I have and I hate I didnt get a picture of the rock.It was behind the Ft Louden dam in Tn,we were drifting live bait for stripers behind the dam in all the rocks,getting hung is a common thing.I got hung for a moment then it came loose ,,a piece of rock had "shelled off" and the line hadgot in a v'eed out place in the rock,,the hook wasnt in the rock,just the line wedged into that spot.It was thin and about the size of your hand.

I have caught rocks before and one day I caught a long tube sock that someone had filled with rocks

yep.. caught one out of salt river once, also watched a friend pull one out fishing ten feet deep in 20' of water over a brush pile

i used to catch, what i thought was rocks in southern La., i found out they were clumps of oysters, so I started eating them right in the boat. Thats 1 tastey rock for sure

I think it would take some skill (and a little luck;)) to land a rock.Thumbs Up

Not me but years ago when I was in the Bass Fishing stage of my life I went night fishing for smallmouth at Brookville lake in Indiana and was working a spinnerbait down the causeway when I saw these guys on a pontoon fishing, one guy jumps up a sets the hook, his spin cast rod doubles over as he fights his fish, pulls up and when he drops the rod to reel it pulls the drag in spurts. This went on for about 10 min's in 30 feet of water untill they finally landed the flat rock about 2 foot across with a hole in it on one end with his hook right in the hole tight enough it took pliers to get it out. Every time he droped his rod to reel the rock would flop back and forth on it's way back to the bottom. He kept it to prove it to people and I almost fell out of my boat laughing.
