Default Weirdest Catch

Sometimes we catch trash or unexpected sea creature when we are fishing. So lets talk here about our weirdest catch?

I was fishing on a lake and I caught boot. At first I thought it was the biggest fish I will ever catch because it was very heavy. To my disappointment it was a boot full of mud.

We "caught" a hot water heater. Yes, we too thought we had a huge fish. Unfortunately, we had to drag the thing out of the water to help the pond owner who didn't know it was there.

I catch fallen tree branches all the time, I guess that's kind of my specialty. But I suppose that's pretty common. As you can presume, I'm not much of a fisherman.

I bet you're going to laugh when I tell you this. But I'm so lame at fishing that when I catch something that looks like the actual fish I consider that my weirdest catch.

I've caught all kinds of crazy things in the lake. One time I was fishing on the bank and there were some people in a boat just a short ways out. We caught each other and were really fighting thinking we had a monster fish. I ended up with his rod! When we realized what we done we laughed at each other.

We were fishing under a bridge on the catwalk one time. I told my son not to walk away from his pole. Well he did and a seagull flew under the bridge and right into his line. The gull took the whole pole with him. We got a guy on a wave runner to go get the pole for us cause the gull was sitting on the water.

I caught a variety of garbage but the weidest catch I had was a cellphone. The cellphone has a cloth casing and the hook caught the cloth. I would like to return it to the owner but I can't turn on the cellphone anymore.

I have caught lots of junk. Branches, trash, an old shoe, a pair of shorts, a small lunchbox. I'm sure it would have been more if my line would hold on to some of the bigger things that I get hung up on.

Your normal trash. But I still remember when I caught one of those sucker fishes you see that swim with sharks and stuff. It took me a bit to realize just what it was.

One time my brother-in-law was out fishing and it was around dusk. He was using a fly and as he cast, out of nowhere came a bat and grabbed the fly.
