Most unusual catch

Postby Npike » Thu Dec 07, 2006 10:39 am

This really isn't a fishing question, but I thought everyone’s response might be interesting.

What is your most unusual catch (bycatch)? I've personally caught a seagull and various turtles, seen a muskrat and duck accidentally caught and even heard that a prairie dog will pounce on a well placed wooly bugger or crappie jig.

Larry, with all the exotic places you've been I can imagine you've accidentally hooked up with some crazy creatures. The electric eel and Dr. Electro is my all-time favorite so far.

I'm anxious to hear about what other creatures people have accidentally hooked into.

Hi Mark,
Let's see... Crocodiles, caymen, beavers, bats, birds, eels,
I once caught a smallmouth with a semi-alive shrew in it's mouth.
Also once caught a condom on a #5 floating rapala fished behind 3 oz of weight in 30 feet of water below a dam in the Mississippi.
It fought like a walleye.
best,

:shock: :lol: :lol: That's a riot....I guess fish need prophylactics too!
For those of you who also keep fish at home (and not just in the freezer :) ) come visit Aquatic-Oasis.net the home of the "more serious aquarist".

Man that's gross. I hope you had a guide with you to unhook it.
Let's fish!
