Just wondering, what is the strangest thing/things any of you have caught? For me it would have to be a broken pair of sunglasses. Caught them on a beetle spin fishing a small pond in Mesquite. West Lake Park, one small bass about 6 inches, several sticks and a pair of sunglasses that day. All were catch and release to the proper locations: fish back in the water, sticks and sunglasses in trash barrel.

A duck. The male mallard grabbed a topwater and tried to fly away. Picture a duck flying in circles while you fight him on rod and reel, and that's how it was. Reeled the critter in and released it. A mad duck can be a handful up close, by the way.
Past performance is the best predictor of future behavior...

I broke off a spinnerbait one day on a fish that was approx. 5 lbs. Had a bad spot in the line I guess. While re-tying my buddy landed a five pounder. I asked him, "I thought you were throwing a texas rig?" being that there was a spinnerbait stuck in the side of its lip. Sure enough, he was using a Texas rigged worm, and caught the fish that had just broke me off. Took the spinnerbait out of the fishes mouth, tied it back on and caught about a dozen more on it. One in a million deal for sure.
WORD!!

I was fishing the Trinity river years ago with a friend of mine and caught a stringer that was full of white bass. Almost all were still alive. Once we got back to Waco, we found out my friends uncle had lost the stringer full of whites the day before.
