Had a hellava' fight on the maiden voyage of the Z9 Sunday with a 5 foot GAR!
Was on 10# fluoro. Wasn't losing that new $10 Live Target Craw for nothing!

"Haulin' Ass and Chasin' Bass"
a net that was hooked to someone elses crankbait that was connected to line that was wrapped around a submerged tree limb. So, yeah, when I pulled it would bend the limb and then pull back. Fought that sumbitch for a few minutes thinking it was a fish. Disappointed I was. But I did get a free #5 shad rap out of the deal. lol
Saw my buddy set the hook on and fight a fire extinguisher all the way to the boat. I caught a pink umbrella. Im surprised nobody from Ohio has said a bass yet. Surely somebody has caught one
They aint got hands, set the hook
Trolling for stripers, my buddy hooked a rope that was tied to a 12' aluminum , 9hp motor, gas tank and life jackets still under the seats. He took it home, called the lake and found that the boat had been sunk a couple days earlier in high winds. Last I heard noone ever claimed it.
Vienna sausage can . Just right went back
and forth just like a big old bass
Seagull - fishing a high pier on Lake Erie. When I through out my line the bird grabbed the lure in mid air. I tried to get my lure back but had to cut the line and let him go. He was squawking so bad and I couldn't get him closer than about 10 feet. By then a crowd had come to watch.
fishing in Canada my uncle just for grins tossed crappie jig at a flying seagull ---he hooked it in flight OMG what a mess ---it crashed in water and got loose and flew off ---we laughed about that for 30 years
Fold up chair, Umbrella, several beer cans, underwear, bra, couple fishing rod combos and many other oddities. A lipless crankbait is great for catching all the trash in the lake.
A few interesting things. One, a seagull swooped down and snagged my shallow running jointed minnow while I was not looking, so I am setting the hook and notice my line is going up at a 45 degree angle. Reeled him down, other boats near me are telling me to net him, I grabbed him firmly (but not hurting him) by the throat and he went calm as ever. The hook easily came out of the hole in the beak and when I turned him loose, he casually flew off. Second thing was line snagged on my jig, reeled it in and the line was pulling back? pulled the line and and on the other side was about a 3lb channel cat, still very much alive and surely appreciative after I let him go.
Quite a few anchor ropes, a couple rod/reels too far gone to get excited about, a beer can, an old bucket, etc. When you like to primarily jig fish and use pretty heavy line, you will catch alot of junk on heavily used waters.
the most interesting was a huge snapping turtle I caught on a jig. Must have been over 30lbs.....unfortunately, during the thrashing at the side of the boat, my fishing pard didn't get a picture before the hook bent out and he self released. I was not going to net him as you might imagine.

Can't believe no one has said a bat yet. I've hooked two of them - one while fly fishing at dusk (that one made a lot of sense), and once on a spook at dusk. The spook one didn't make it, unfortunately. Dead on impact.
Caught a bedsheet once on a trout stream widely known for tons of huge fish but also for being full of trash and located in a really poverty-stricken area. At the bottom of a deep pool I thought I had a 30 inch brown trout. I also hooked a dildo in that stream once....cut the line.
I've also caught channel cats still attached to lines on at least two occasions. I guess trot line escapees?

Caught a big damned rock once in Barker Canyon (Banks Lake) that was about the size of a boxcar. It put up a good fight, but my buddy got it in the net...
Went off shore near Miami. Caught a Cuban.
One big mean pissed off snapping turtle on a power worm.Cut it loose,wasn't getting fingers near that head.
