What is the most odd catch you have had?

A Horse Skull,

Redneckshadrap and I were fishing Stoner Creek on Halloween Day a couple years back and I caught a horse skull on a tube bait. We were both shocked when that hunk of bone came to the surface.

1) I was fishing at a small farm pond one fall and hooked into a fish that battled for a while and when I finally pulled up on the bank, it was a fish I had never seen before. I was sold that it was a Japanese Snakehead for years until I joined this forum and found out that it must have been a large bowfin. How it got into this small farm pond is beyond me?

2) Caught a 7.5lb, 27" brown trout out of a little creek called trammel creek in Allen county. That was a shocker!!!

3) Caught a 40+lb snapper on a 71/2" culprit worm. That was fun! Needless to say, I let him keep the worm!

4) Caught a gigantic fresh water oyster at a local lake, my hook was stuck right inbetween it's two shells, weird?

5) Caught myself straight through my ear on a windy day, fly fishing on the Green River Wyoming with a large Cicada fly. That hurt.

My oldest son caught a 2 foot long 2X4 out of Taylorsville Lake...We just knew he had hooked a new state record the way it was fighting going side to side and taking out the drag.......He was excited for sure with the battle......

2 years ago, I was catfishing north of the gambeling boat. A rod started peeling off line. Grabbed it and set the hook. Faught it back to the boat. Half way back it surfaced. It was a red flannel shirt full of silt and water. It looked like a torso of a person until we got it right next to the boat. 10 minuted before, we were talking bout hooking a body and pulling it in. We still laugh about it. I'm telling y'all, it looked like a body in the shirt!!!!!

After the dead fish did you learn about fertilizer or fillets?

Just what do you mean by odd? Do clams, pelicans, sea gulls, mergansers, eels, turtles and burbot count? Not to mention in animate objects, sometimes I think any fish is odd!

I once hooked a pelican while mackerel fishing in Fla, and those darn hedge apple looking things, they look like a human head if they have moss on them, hung one several years agos and as it was comimg up, the water was very clear, it looked like a head and upper body as it also had a tree limb attached, scared me to death. Those darn bowfins are strange critters, caught a snapping turtle on a skitter pop once at Barren, and the strangest thing of all was actully catching a keeper basss at Taylorsville lake,

I did catch a Bullfrogs on a grape man worm while floating over lilly pads. It was a sight to see. I had a good laugh.

DA
