What is the most odd catch you have had?

I saw my nephew catch a small bass and while reeling in a larger bass struck and he caught both fish.

Wow that article is crazy!

One time I caught a 6" northern hog sucker on a roostertail. He hit it too, the hook was in his mouth!

Another time I was fishing for medium sized bluegill to use for bait with a beetle spin on my UL outfit when a big bass nailed the bluegill and actually got hooked but broke off. Later that day I caught the same bass with my beetle spin still in his mouth on another live bluegill!

Once fly fishing at Otter Creek down at the blue hole I caught a sauger and a drum on back to back cast on a wooly bugger streamer. That was pretty bizarre.

I caught a crutch last year out of Eagle Creek in Indy two summers ago. Photographed and released unharmed.

Had my partner to catch a fire extinguisher last year on a jig.....that wasnt the funny part....the funny part was watching him fight it all the way to the boat going right and left....garbage can lids can fight a lot like a fish to

Was being pestered to death one May day many years ago in Blood River on Ky Lake by Warmouth bluegill hitting soft plastics. You know the deal, peckpeckpeckpeck, and then they tear the tail off. Told my buddy in the front of the baot I'm gonna let the next one take it for a mile and then rip his lips off and laughed.
Sure nough peck peck, I let it run a long ways and set the hook like I was trying to pull a stuck car out of the ditch. Warmouth came airborne from the bank for about a 10 foot flight out towards the boat. Warmouth lands and we start laughing, I look down and my line is going down the side of the boat a little to tight to be this dink warmouth. I reeled down and set the hook again this time hooking and landing a nice 21 inch largehead that had blasted that little pest. When I landed the fish I had the bass, above that the warmouth above the eye of the sproat hook with the line through it's lip, then the plastic worm then the slip sinker. We took a picture of this mess just like that and had a good laugh.

Was catching stripers in the jumps on the Potomac River, cast to the school, and reeled in about a 5lb seagul, line was wrapped around his wing, let me tell you those are some hard fighting mean birds. Release alive.

Fall 2007 - Destin, FL Fishing Rodeo, caught the front half of a barracuda, a Shark took the back half as I was reeling in, although I'm told this isn't all that uncommon down there.

Fall 2008 - Dale Hollow, witnessed the same ugly, retarded, deformed, sick looking, one eyed, beat to heck and back, sorriest excuse you ever saw for a largemouth caught four times in two days! I swore if we caught him a fifth time we was gonna stuff him full of shiners so he'd leave us alone.

If the fishing gets slow I'm looking forward to catching me one of those garbage can lids, lol...

A few months ago I'm cranking the edge of a submerged rock pile. Something stops my white Fat Free Shad. It starts pulling and I know I've got a beast! After about 15 seconds I realize it can't be a LM. I feel the fish get caught up in some structure on the bottom... Pop!!! My line breaks and that's it.

About 15 minutes later my buddy points out a big fish swimming on the surface. It's too far to see what it is but it's leaving a slow wake. It takes a dive and my white crankbait floats to the surface right behind it. We go retrieve the bait. It is perfectly in tact and has no line attached to it.
