I was casting out a yellow magic one day and a big white crane flew into my line hooking itself at Fork. I cut the line and finally got my $15.00 back and the bird flew away still baffled!

I've caught a pair of underwear, a pair of panties, an engine cover. I've also caught a dr pepper can. I caught it one day and threw it back in the water. The next weekend I caught it again. All these bit a crankbait.  man, I'm a good trash fisherman!

I think anything I catch nowadays is an accident. Before the hiatus I could throw a button on string onto a mud puddle and pull out a nice trout or bass; since my return to fishing I can't catch carp...the fish or the expletive. But to get to the subject... A deer (doe), couple ducks, bullfrog, Daredevil, fishing buddies (should've known enough to stay well away from me when I'm casting). Oddest/strangest was with a Goldfish spoon, caught a small bass that had swallowed a snelled hook that was attached to a snap-swivel with a few feet of line on it -- the Goldfish treble went thru the snap-swivel eye where the line was attached.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

Line. I catch miles of line every trip out.
But also, turtles, gar, catfish, drum, grinnel, talapia, redfish (on Fairfield). I guess over the years I caught pretty much everything with gills and a gull on a Pop R.

Hooked a 20# flathead right behind the dorsal fin with a DD22 in a bass tournament once. Took forever to land that sucker. Bowfin, Chain Pickerel, longnose, shortnose and spotted gar, alligator and common snapping turtles, beaver, many snakes, caught a condom in a backwater canal while tarpon fishing in San Juan, Puerto Rico, many many many bullfrogs and about all the trash fish out there!

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.
