View Full Version : What is the strangest thing you have caught? Was out fishing the other day with a bud who is just getting into the sport. Suddenly he shouts from down stream, "I got one!
He dragged this beast in from a good way out. I am watching him bring it in and all I can do is smile :lol: This is his first catch. I caught two rainbows at once on a pickerel rig once. That was the strangest thing. Boy what a fight that was! I once caught a 3 lb rainbow on the top hook of a pickeral rig and a squaw fish on the bottom hook. Boy did I think I had a big fish on the fight Fishing at Coal last weekend caught a package of rotten , half eatten bag of smelts I had to cut my line and toss the whole thing in the Garbage the thing reaked.
Out at camp couple of years ago had a seagull go after my floating Rapala. Took a lot of screaming and yanking to get it to take off before it finally did. Caught a beaver in 87 on the Bow.
Never dreamed that I would've landed it but I did! Took 3 of us to corral it and unhook it,talk about 40 pounds of ticked off rodent. That's a good one! Good to hear you got it and unhooked it. Most would have just cut the line, they have some big brown chompers! Caught a seagull doing some surf fishing in Florida Had my line out and was sitting back watching it and I see a seagull come flying in low. I figure "he'll miss the line".. Wrapped around his wing twice and I took one heck of a beating trying to get it unwound :mad2: LOL.
I have caught a bat while fly fishing I have hooked a beaver a couple of times Duck Tasty A seagull As my dad was trying to unwind it Another one was a garter snake in the bow on a hopper It was like a cartoon he was running on air!
