It was pretty disgusting

WaffleJaw · 03-11-10, 04:26 PM

So i went out to my lunch break spot today.Starting working a trap around the rocky ledge...Wanted to go deeper,so I let the trap sink to the bottom and started reeling...BAM!..I got hung up!

...But the structure was loose...heavy,but loose...So I put down the rod and grab the line.Start pulling expecting to see limbs surface,but instead its a big black mass.

...Im thinking ''Great ,more fing trash!'' ...But as it got closer I realized that this ''trash'' had organs and a ribcage......
I just pulled in a partly decomposed raccoon..........Awesome!

Have you ever seen that movie ''Akira''...Thats what it looked liked only more fur......And buried in this lump of decomp awesomeness was my Rat'l Trap.
Im pacing thinking:
''Do I cut the line or dig it out?'
''Do I cut the line or dig it out?'
''Do I cut the line or dig it out?'

I finally looked down my pants.......(10 minutes later)...yep!.....Im a man!

I dug it out...no sticks,no rocks....barefisted that thing like I was paying it for sex......got my lure!

Now my hand is soaking in hand sanitizer..

I miss my raccoon

and yea,I used a stick........but I had to smell it and that counts as being tough!

Good for you. No need to waste a trap on a dead raccoon.

basstastic · 03-11-10, 04:32 PM

Sounds like you caught lunch on your lunch break what's the big deal?

carolina-rig-01 · 03-11-10, 04:36 PM

BigBassin144 · 03-11-10, 05:00 PM

Where is Bryce? I haven't called him a puss lately, but I am sure I will have due justice when he reads this. That is funny stiff walker. First thing I though when I saw ribcage was you have found Hoffa or something.

I almost did it ....I had the phone out and I watched it sitting there under 3'' of water...I even told Jrob I was thinking about posting pics.....
I didnt wanna gross anyone out...That and Im selfish.....I didnt want you looking at my raccoon..Your stares would make it uncomfortable and insecure.

Kinda gross, but for some reason dead critters dont bother me much.

When I was in 8th grade, and living in Bradenton, FL...my friends and I came upon a dead heron on the outskirts of our subdivision. I ended up chasing the other guys around with one of the legs. The tendons were sticking out of the end, and you could "grab" stuff with the claws if you pulled the tendons.

However, the dozen bait crabs that got left in my tackle box for 3 weeks really grossed me out. 3 years later, that tackle box still stunk of rotten crab.

bassinbob · 03-11-10, 05:55 PM

Just like bubba I thought the same. I quit hunting cause I don't enjoy gutting animals. Funny thing is I am a meat cutter. It couldn't of smelled worse then bad chicken.

WaffleJaw · 03-11-10, 05:55 PM

The worst part was pulling all the ''leftovers'' off of the split ring and snap....Sticks werent working.....It was one of those moments when you dont think,you just get it over with.

screwballl · 03-11-10, 06:12 PM

caught my last 2.5 lb LMB about 15 feet from half a deer tossed into the creek weeds...

Cavs1123 · 03-11-10, 06:24 PM
