Weirdest Thing(s) Caught 2024

christopherjake reply :

I'm just wondering what's the weirdest thing you guys caught/pulled up while fishing.

1st Weird

I was using 4 lb test Maxima line and a small hook, caught something pretty heavy, got it to almost where I can see it and the line snapped. I was disappointed I didn't see what it was. It was time for us to leave, I brought up the anchor and there was my little hook attached to a little piece of Maxima 4 lb test line. I thought it was pretty funny at the time.

2nd Wierd

I was with a buddy fishing for stripers when I hooked a nice bass that I thought had a hook on its back. After scooping up the fish in the net I realized it wasn't a hook at all but a tag for $200. Let me know if you'd like to see a picture of the tagged fish.

3rd Weird

One time I caught two fish with one hook. I caught a bluegill and a 5-6 lb catfish. I thought that was kind of neat.

brgbassmaster reply :

this is not really weird but almost impossible. when my brother was fishing for kings in alaska he was reeling in his line when he thought that he got a bite set the hook and had a fish on. when he reeled it up the hook had somehow hooked into another hook eye that was already hooked into the fish.

Thats got to be one of those one in a million situations ;D.

The oddest thing I'v ever caught was a dead bass. I hooked it on the inside of the mouth. I didn't realize it was dead until I got it closer.

Bull red on a worm. I thought I had a goliathan of a bass

Paul Roberts reply :

A group of us were walleye fishing together. One guy was not catching at all. So he finally put on his favorite shad rap cast out got a strike and reeled in a very big, very dead, and very stinky walleye -hooked in the upper lip.

ZOOM BAITS reply :

I dont know if this is weird or not.

1)I was fishing a moss pad and a HUGE frog attacked my frog lure and hooked himself. I reeled him in and he weighed over a pound. I have never seen this before.

2)We were on a fishing trip up in south dakota, the other boat we were fishing with had caught a fish, well the pole went into the water. The same guy that just lost his pole throw out a lure and caught his pole and then caught the fish. 1 in a million.

My uncle and his friend were catfishing on the bank of a cove at the lake he lives on. His friend had a fish on and my uncle was watching him. My uncle then got a bite and his pole went sailing into the water. He took another pole, put on the biggest weight and treble hook he had and casted into the cove a few times until he caught his own line, bringing in his pole and a 12 lb channel cat.

jiggerpole reply :

I was night fishing with a worm and felt the tap - tap and set the hook on a Racoon. He was not too happy.

I caught an Oscar in a pond yesterday. Had to do a search on the net to figure out what it was.

And a duck!!!

T-Bone reply :

Well I didn't actually catch this but it was something that I saw while I was fishing. I was fishing in a fairly shallow pond which had catfish in and I was fishing, watching the ducks swimming as I fished, and as I was watching the ducks I saw a catfish come up and eat a duck! It took me a second to realize what had happened and when I did I was shocked! I wanted that catfish as a pet. ;D

iamjoe2 reply :

^^^ how big was the duck?

ive caught several snapping turtles on poppers

TENNESSEE NEWSOME reply :

While fishing at night once, I threw my bait up on the bank to let it fall back off the rocky shelf and a coon grabbed it. Of course I wasn't gonna real him in only to get eaten alive. I ended up having to cut the line as close as I could to the critter. I've always wondered if he was able to get unhooked.

ewwww that would gross...funny ,but gross lol ;D

cpvenom reply :

I have also caught a condom actually. Caught it on a rapala, looked like a windsock when it was coming in.

Sam reply :

While fishing the James River just east of Richmond with my friend, Charlie, the bite was slow until Charlie hooked a big one.

Only problem was that it was a snag. At least we thought it was a snag.

Charlie takes his lure retriever and puts it on his line and lets it sink to the crankbait.

He then pulls on the green cord and the cord comes lose.

Now,he is mad, so he takes his rod and starts to shake it hard and cuss and jump up and down trying to get his beloved Salad Bar Bandit crankbait loose.

The snag comes loose and he brings a BOOT into the boat. A GI boot.

I almost fell overboard laughing.

I then tell him to look inside the boot for his lure retriever and he does. Nope, not there.

I then tell him to go back down with his lure and try to find the missing boot so he will have a set of GI boots. He did not see the humor in my suggestion.

You see so many cartoons of people catching a boot that to actually have it happen is very funny.

To this day I remind him of the story and I still laugh.

If only you could have seen the look on his face when he brought that boot into the boat. ;D

For me, I have not caught anything interesting. Not that I remember, anyway.

Staff Sergeant--USMC reply :

Hummm, weirdest thing caught; lets see...... well there was this one time in Thialand....Oh, wait you are talking about fish!!!! ;D I'd say it was catching an eel on a pond on base in Camp Lejeune, NC. We ended up catching allot of them. I have no clue as to what they are really called, I just know that they are eels. I cut the line and throw them back in!

I remember back when I was a young kid catfishing on the Red River on the border of Arkansas and Texas and hooking an eel. My dad was reeling it in and it did a flying leap through the air, and I wasted no time running up the bank to get away from it as fast as I could. I did not want to be any where close when it got reeled in. It came off in that leap.

islandbass reply :

This season, I caught my home made inline spinner hooked up a pair of boxers for the lake bottom. Yuck!!!!!

Also this season, As I made the motion to end the retrieve (lifting lure out of the water to make a cast) a bat came out of nowhere are latched onto my lure as I pulled it out of the water and up toward me. His wing got caught on the jig hook but he broke free as I stared in wonder.

1/4 oz jig head and a wacky rigged 3" pink senko. :

The Ohio river has some sewage runoff and I think I have caught a limit of condoms in a day. Sick, very sick just thinkin about it makes me ill. Fishing at the river I have caught the kitchen sink. Literally! Some weird things float down that river. Other than that, a goose, a bat, huge clumps of zebra mussels you name it and I have problably hooked it! Fishing at Lake St. Claire I was going across the Walpole Indian Reservation in about two feet or less of water, too shallow to come off plane and a Swan was flying at the boat, I tried to avoid it but it flew right into the side of the boat. It was dazed but my partner watched and it flew away.

BackofHisSkeeter reply :

I caught a 3 Inch long Snail once while fishing for Cats, I felt a little nibble I thought, so I Set the hook on it and all. I cracked it open and used it for bait...
