Unbelieveable fish stories

[fishuhalik]

alot of us that have been fishing for a long time have had those run-ins with something that usually left you with a broken line and a stupid look on your face that says "what the h. e. double hockey sticks just happened?!" lets hear em! i'll share mine to get em started.

several years ago myself, my dad, & a friend of mine were camping on big trout lake in the bwca. it had been a rough weekend for eyes & smallies, so we decided to try for lakers. none of us really knew what we were doing so we found a steep drop into 100' and started jigging through the water column. we didnt have any luck so my buddy, just goofing around, stuck 2 daredevils, a couple spinners, and a big treble hook, all hooked end-to-end, on his 8' heavy muskie rod with 80lb braid. he dropped it to the bottom, started reeling up, & something hit it like a submarine. i saw his rod double over, hit the side of the boat, & snap. he kept the fish on long enough to empty the spool and break off before we could get the old 15 started to chase it down. i have no idea what that fish was & probably dont want to! anyone else have any good stories?

A few years back me and a buddy of mine were fishing for sunnies off my dads pontoon. It was really hot out and not much was biting so we anchored on the edge of some lilly pads and casted out a couple bobbers while we listened to the Twins game on the radio. We were rarely checking our bobbers and more into taking naps and listening to the game. We were catching a bunch of cigar sized perch that were annoying us so I thought I would put on a big glob of worms to try to get something bigger to bite. (Or at least get the small perch to stop)

The fish looked really old or even sickly though (It didnt act like it though). It was a really pale whitish/gray color, but was definitely a fish I wish I could have landed. Gave me quite the fight on my 4'6" sunny rod and 4lb test.

how's this for unbelievable ?

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. I'm a diver who does underwater maintenance for the harbor authority.

This time of year the water is quite cool, even with a wetsuit. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of krap sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is I take the hose and stuff it down the back of my neck. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. This is even worse than having poison ivy under a cast. Now I had that hose down my back. I don't have any hair on my back, so the jellyfish couldn't get stuck to my back. My butt crack was not so fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were laughing hysterically. Needless to say, I aborted the dive. It totaled 35 minutes before I could come to the surface for my chamber dry decompression.

I got to the surface wearing nothing but my brass helmet. My suit and gear were tied to the bell. When I got on board the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to shove it "up my butt" when I get in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't p00p for two days because my butt was swollen shut.

I hope you have no bad days at the office. But if you do, think about how much worse your day would be if you were to shove a jellyfish up your butt; I hope this will make it more tolerable.
