weird happenings

[Cliff Wagenbach]

Quite a few years ago a friend and I were fishing with slip bobbers on Opening Day of the walleye season. My buddy hooked what appeared to be a big fish abd reeled in a chain stringer that had 6 nice walleyes on it, all of them alive yet!

That was his claim of catching his limit with only one cast!

Three years ago a bunch of buddies and I rented a 12-man sleeper on Mille Lacs. Somehow I caught my buddies line on the other side of the shack. When I noticed it my buddies rattle reel started chiming. He went over and fought "the world's largest fish" for about three minutes. He thought he had snagged a car, but he knew it was "a fish" because it was fighting back. Everyone in the shack was circled around my buddy cheering him on to landing "the fish". I got a good cut on my finger from yanking so hard, but it was totally worth it. For the next two years he talked about the one that got away and I'd just listen and smile.

that would be quite the thingyou should have yanked him in the water

I would have totally told him it was me doing it. If you don't tell him you miss out on the look on his face.

I did something similar to that on Mille LAcs last year. My line got tangled around a rattle reel line across the shack and when I pulled on it the reel made noise. My buddy jumped out of bed and grabbed the line super fast and was so ticked off that it was just me messing with him.

Here is one for ya.......Northern snaps a buddys line the next day he is casting the same area when he starts reeling in the thern he hears a rattlin sound sure enough he catches the pike with his lure from the previous day in its mouth.

I had a pike on the line and after a short fight it broke the line. Maybe 30-40 minutes later I had another bite and I reel in a northern with my lindy rig in its mouth. Glad I got it back becasue some how it had become my favorite one.
