Reeled in a trash fish, (a "sucker", by northern terms) while bank fishing a reservoir in Idaho. Hooked it in the mouth, even. The "strange" part of the story is that it was already dead and gutted*.

Aside from that, I haven't really caught anything strange. Pulled in an old Zebco reel and more than my fair share of turtles, but that seems to be pretty common.


*When you catch a sucker fish up there, it's common practice to immediately gut it and throw it back.

Fishing some docks in Ft Walton Beach, hooked something large. I could barely move it and I'm thinking some huge bull red or speck... got it to the edge... a freaking horseshoe crab. Bigger than a dinner plate and heavy as can be. Not the easiest things to remove trebles out of either. I should have mounted it.

Fishing pole with a 19# catfish on it. I was fishing with my friend and he turned around to "take advantage of a tree" and the next thing we knew his setup shot in to the water like a bullet. I put on a deep diving rapala and came up with some of his line which was still attached to the pole & fish.

Haha that would have been a heck of a mount BNKrust!! Def. a conversation piece...

Mine happened on Tuesday on Ray Hubbard. I caught a female mallard in mid flight. I didn't even catch her on my top-water lure. She flew into the line. It took a second to register that the reason my pole was screaming and heading toward the middle of the lake was a duck. She finally broke off. At least the lure was hanging behind her, I assume it fell off as soon as the line went slack.

Cast out some dough bait at Canyon and when I checked it a while later had a freshwater clam on it, treble hook inside it's shell. Heavy but not much fight to it.

I caught a live box full of catfish once at lake o the pines

The strangest thing I ever caught was some sort of rash down there back when i was in college in college station. Went away pretty quick though.

Strangest for me was hooking a bass through the "nose". Hook wasn't even in its mouth. But the strangest I've seen is a catfish my father caught. When he reeled it in, his hook was through the loop of someone else's leader hanging out of the cat's mouth.

i cant catch a cold

Coleto Creek- Zebco 808, good condiction, used it for 5 years.

Choke Canyon- up from 99 bridge, snagged a 12 gauge pump shotgun with a jugline in 2004. Duck hunters, I guess, lost it.
