Guest Eye Guy Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Inspired by Beamer talking about catching his dog, and 12Many talking about catching his transducer, trolling motor, boat carpet, etc, I started thinking, what's the weirdest thing I've ever caught.I once landed a rock. Fishing on a small lake near Sioux Lookout I actually landed a rock. It was round and about 3 inches wide. It had a little crack in it that my hook got lodged in, and up it came.My buddy once caught the back of his own head. He was casting a daredevil and had about three or four feet of line hanging when he casted. It hooked straight into the back of his head.How about you guys. Anyone caught anything goofy?

Lyle Reiner 174 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 I was shore casting raps, my friend got bored and decided she was going to stop fishing. Her rod was sitting on the rocks and I hooked the tip of her rod, casted it out into the river haha. Ended up going swimming for it!!!

TroutHunter 39 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 i've caught a few clams and crayfish before... i once casted the top half of my 2 piece rod into the lake (must have forgot to check how tight it was) and reeled it back in...

Antonio 8 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 My brother caught me once when we were kids hahaBy far the strangest though has been a dead sucker, using a jitterbug I got into a snag and jerked it out really hard and found a dead sucker stuck on the hook through the stomach, it reeked.

Heisenberg 12 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 HUGE snapping turtle (it thankfully snapped the line) and a seagull. Reeled in the gull , threw my jacket over it and got my Rapala back.H. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eye Guy Report post Posted May 24, 2012 My dad caught a seagull once too. Line was wrapped around it's leg, but he landed him though. Good thing there was a pair of leather golves in the boat. I put that on and let him clamp his beak on my hand while dad unwrapped him and let him go. He took off in a straight line as far from the boat as we could see. He might still be going - and that was about 20 years ago...LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mnaiman Report post Posted May 24, 2012 When I was real young, I went on my first backcountry speck fishing trip with my dad north of Eliot Lake. We were camping on a rocky point, and decided to float a few worms off bottom to see if we could possibly entice a Laker. Another group camping near us had a fish finder, and told us that just off the point, it went down to 70 ft., about a cast off shore. We set our lines, anchored them in some rocks and started making dinner. A little while later one of us noticed the rod bouncing and I rushed down to she shore to set the hook, Seconds into the fight I noticed loon darting around frantically way out in the middle of the lake. It was shaking its head and torpedoing around in circles. At first we were dumbfounded... but as I reeled in the line, it became evident that this loon was about to spool me. It had taken a worm off bottom in no less than 60 feet. We cranked the drag, and brought it in as close as possible. No hook was visible, nor did we want to get any where near a pissed off full frown loon. We cut the line and called it quits for fishing that day. I must have been about 8 years old at the time at it has stuck with me since. It was a horrible experience, but I have greatly appreciated those birds ever since. - Max Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lineguy 17 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Ice fishing for some Brookies and ended up hooking a Muskrat...Thought I had a monster Brookie fighting under the ice, until I reeled him up the hole. He came up head first set his little paws on the ice and just looked at me. I cut the line and he spun around and down he went...

NorthwestHunter 27 Report post Posted May 25, 2012 Two summers ago while jigging for walleye, I caught 2 ice fishing combos tangled together. Im guessing they fell off of someones sleigh and they couldn't find them in the snow or didn't notice, then they sank once spring came....either that or the snowmobile is beside them! Turns out I caught my personal best walleye that day too.But by far the weirdest thing I've ever heard being caught is when my Dad was fishing at the Seine River dam in the 80's and caught a kids wallet who had drown there the previous year....spooky.

James01 223 Report post Posted May 25, 2012 It wasnt me but I have heard of a guy catching a Stinger of walleyes outta whitefish.Ha ha ha... more than a few years back I was fishing with a friend and his father on Whitefish, and during a flurry of fish catching activity my friend dropped our stringer full of Walleye into the lake. We never retrieved it, partly because his father did not see it happen and my friend did not want to admit to his father what had happened - he felt a little foolish. I wonder... I have caught rocks, clams, fishing gear, the boat, my father's t-shirt (I was 10 or so, and he was in the t-shirt at the time), and while fly fishing I once caught the road 10-15 yards behind me. While guiding on Lac Seul I caught a rod a fellow guide lost the year before.

Bullshark 23 Report post Posted May 26, 2012 For birds I've caught pelicans, frigates, terns and gulls.Two turtles, one little was a small green turtle and the other was a real big green turtle.Hooked a few dolphins (the stupid "shark look-a-likes") but I can't even slow them down. They are some of the powerful things I've ever had on. Oh, I caught a 5 dollar bill at the Kam boat launch, that was the last time I ever fished there. I don't think I got any fish that day.
