Fn-is-L: Next time.....duck :-)

Caught a raccoon at Taylorsville fishing tight to the banks at night. He hit a crank bait.

Caught a seagull at Put-In-Bay Ohio, Lake Erie. He hit a Zora Spook while I was fishing from the bank.

Caught a Seagull at Lake Cumberland, Wolfe Creek, just outside the no wake of Alligator 2, during a December topwater, daytime Striper jumps trip. He hit a Redfin from about 40 feet up.

And in 1997, coming out from Alligator 2, just down from Campers Point, during a very foggy early morning trip, I almost ran over a 6 point buck and his accompanying doe as they were swimming from one side of the creek to the other. When I first saw the buck's rack, I thought it was a partially sunk floating tree. At 530 in the morning and in the fog, it shocked me when the "tree" started swimming toward the boat.

Years ago my friend and I were fishing in Vermont using shiners at the time. He had a bird dive down and take his out of the water. The bird took off and his drag was buzzing away as the bird kept taking line. My buddy actually tightened his drag and "played" him a little. It was pretty funny watching him "fish" this bird in the air for a bit before the bird eventually pulled the fish free.
