Odd Catches

[hunterjoe84]

Just recently I caught a shovel in fast moving water at a lock. It put up one heck of a fight!!! had no idea what it was. It was moving back and fourth in the current and stripping some line. Finally was able to land it. I have also caught a rock while perch fishing. The rock had a small hole in it and the hook went right in it and pulled it to the surface.

Did you release the shovel they are a delicate species and need to be handled with care LOL I caught a black pacu that was released into a local pond I wish I had the pic still I think my aunt still has the newspaper clip I will see if I can get a copy and scan it really cool lookin fish like a huge pirahnna it was 5-6lbs 1 of the best fighting fish for it's size I have ever caught .

[alexcba]

i caught a loon up in loch garry about 15 years ago. scared the crap out of me when it flew up and out of the water near my boat. i had to reel it in and net it so i could get the rapala out of its beak.

Was fishing BOQ for the walleye opener about 87-88 and trolled a black Mepps with a worm trailer and managed to hook... A freshwater clam..... Weirdest thing I've ever caught on a line. Trawling in the North Sea and pulling up an Angler Fish.... Eeewww...

I caught a nice Estwing hammer while ice fishing on Lake Simcoe a few years back. Turns out it was MY hammer I had accidently dropped down the hole 2 weeks prior. lol She really put up a fight coming up from 100FOW......not many head shakes though. Still using it to this day.

That is strange.

 

I once caught a knot eel. It is an eel and when it gets into the boat it ties itself into a knot. True story. Caught it ogg noosa in Australia. I also caught a lobster or a big crayfish in a river .

[pike n' whities]

Caught and released a seagull once.

 

A couple years ago I had an osprey take a large topwater plug. I tried to get the bird close enough to untangle its feet, but it would have nothing to do with that. Ended up having to cut the line as close as I dared. I really hope he was able to untangle that big Bagley bait eventually.

Caught a 9mm glock off the pier at Port Dalhousie, it was missing the clip and had been in the lake for quite awhile....The funny thing was some lady called the police and when they showed up it was like the bomb squad,pushing people back as they crept up on it and stuffed in a bag.hahahahaha

[spincast]

Crab, snapping turtle, other peoples snags, fresh water mussle, fresh water clam and then this funny little thing below last year off Fort lauderdale - these are the fish that suck on sharks. Charter guy stuck it on the boat and it stayed there for like 3, 4 minutes before letting go.
