By far, the strangest thing I've ever seen on the water was DEACON.

Also strange was that he actually CAUGHT* fish.

* I guess you can say he caught them if someone else set the hook and handed him the rod and let him reel'em in.

skeeter944 · 12-18-06, 04:11 PM

I don't have any crazy stories myself but one from a friend:
They were ice fishing for pike, big holes cut in the ice, and a guy came out of his shanty screaming. Everybody else came out to see what was going on and he was so scared because a dog came out of his hole in the ice! Turns out the guy 50 yards down had his dog with him and it saw a duck swimming under the water and went in after it. It was lucky enough to find another hole in the ice to get out!
I have also heard stories of people hand-lining for walleye in the Detroit River catching a dead body down near the bridge. I guess it had been in there a while and there wasn't too much left.

I casted a lure in a tree, but I couldn't follow the line because there were so many bushes around, so I just snapped the line. About a month later, my brother casted his lure into a tree. I followed the line, and had to climb about 40 feet up a tree, and right next to my face was the lure I had lost earlier.

Kinda lame, but I thought I would join the thread.

Flyrod,

My compliments. I was going to post something to that effect, but your post has a lot more ten dollar words, adjectives(and very descriptive no less) then I could have ever used.

Last fall during a club tourney, my partner and I pulled up to a dock and started winging jigs up to it. After a couple minutes a big 'ol fat gal came charging out the door and down toward the dock. I figured she was gonna try to run us off the dock. Sometimes property owners try to do that. Anyway, she comes down and looks at us and says, "Dangit! You guys both have rings!" "Yes ma'am" I replied. She says to us, "That's a shame. We're having a bachlorette party and need some strippers." I looked up at the house, and there was a half dozen or so 40 somethings up there all drinkin and having a big time. I told the lady that they must be getting pretty desperate if they wanted to see me get up there and shake my fat a$$. Besides, we had an almost nine pounder in the boat, and we didn't really want to be late to the weigh in. She invited us up after the weigh-in, but we declined the invitation.

Here are a few that I've come across over the years.....
1) albino peahen walking along the shoreline that wanted to get in the boat
2) caught a 8" bluefish on a buzzbait while bass fishing
3) caught (not hooked) a 8" blue crab on a 4" ringworm - pincer was wedged into the bend of the hook
4) a friend caught a muskrat on a pnj, I got the hook out
5) I know a guide on the Potomac who has found 4 bodies on the river outside D.C.

redneckmn · 12-28-06, 12:39 AM

My biggest catch is:
About a 8' diameter rock that was supposed to be deeper that it was. No Bouys around it, no warning, just gouged a really nice hole in the bottom of my boat and busted the lower end on my motor. Luckily, another boater was right behind us and towed us to the nearest beach, where we beached the boat and the boater was nice enough to take me to my truck so I could proceed to recover my boat from the beach. The insurance guy just shook his head and totalled the pair.I bought it back and repaired the hull and bought another motor.

rangerbuz · 01-02-07, 04:37 PM

..while fishing in the Everglades we saw a buck deer swimming across a
large bay...upon getting closer we found it to be a gator with a 100lb buck deer in his mouth swimming across the bay...we watched him drag the deer
up a small creek and into the palmettos...

Nitro911 · 01-02-07, 06:46 PM

Well let's see...

A buddy and I were fishing a small pond when a blackbird landed on a cattail. The water exploded and a bass jumped about 2 feet out of the water, ate the bird, and was gone. We cast to that area for the next hour.

I was fishing with Reb and saw him hook an alligator. I think he was foul-hooked. For some reason, Reb wouldn't bring him in and lip him.

I was fishing at Choke Canyon and saw probably 15 alligators in the same cove chasing ducks. They were opening their jaws and slamming them shut, spraying water everywhere. Needless to say, we didn't stick around there to fish. That has to be the weirdest, and spookiest, thing I have seen.

FlyRod · 01-03-07, 09:22 AM

Hey! I was telling an old bassin' bud about this thread and he reminded me of something we encountered at Falcon back in the late 70s.
Seems we were easing along a shoreline where some trees were growing very near the water (Yes, every now and then, Falcon is full...but rarely). T'was the time of year when yew see a lot of Redwing Blackbirds all a-flock.
As we neared one particular tree we noticed that the RWBBs were zooming in and out of it, some swooping within a couple of inches of the water. Bob claimed that each time a RWBB passed so low that it cast a shadow there was a swirl in the water beneath.

I jokingly mentioned that there must be a big ol' bass there that was hankerin' for a RWBB breffus. Bob remembered that he had one of those (Heddon?) TW lures that was made to resemble a RWBB so he fumbled around, found it, and tossed it up to me.
I tied it on, all in fun, made a cast to where he claimed to have seen the swirls and, OMG! The water seemed to erupt and I was now battling what proved to be a 6 lb+ bass. A few moments later, as I laid the bass on the measuring board, to gather "data" for my log, he threw up not one, but at least 20(!) Redwing...Blackbird....(see below)

(Keep goin'.)

SHADOWS!
(Honest!)

My dad once hooked a nice bass on a scum frog, and the line broke while fighting the fish. Within the next hour, my wife catches a nice bass on topwater on the oposite side of the pond.

As I am removing the lure from her, I noice some monofilament coming out of the fish's mouth. Perplexed as to how it got there, I start to pull on it. The bass's little crusher thing begins to relax, and out pops my dad's scum frog!

I was amazed.
