yooperhawg Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I was fishing up on Rainy with my new wife the first week of August, honeymoon( that's right-honeymoon, her idea) and witnessed a guy catch an old metal ladder, probably from the railroad bridge, with his anchor.

walleyedan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I really enjoyed this post, I haven't hooked a body yet and I hope it doesn't happen but here are some of the things we have hooked over the years: drift sock, minnow nets, landing nets, folding nylon chair, anchor, Coleman lantern, a brass door knob, Northland Tackle hat, pink zip-up sweatshirt, sunglasses, part of kids toy truck, fishing rods, Blatz Light beer can, plastic pop bottle (1 liter), old tree parts, loons, gull, chipmunk (on land), racoon (shallow water on a #11 Rap), turtles, clams (many)....We'll have to see what's next, hopefully a 17 pound 9 ounce walleye.Walleyedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold one sd Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I hooked a garbage bag by the open end while trolling a crank bait. I thought I had a hold of the drain plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Slabber Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I pulled up an old tire from a Model T. It was well preserved and it's part of a flower garden now. Makes me wonder if the whole car is down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartattack22 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I have caught 3 different rocks in the past two weeks. I have no idea how they are getting hooked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedjerry Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Quote:He keeps going andgoing until the same exact lure hewas trolling with pops up into our boat. What are the chances of that? this spring i hooked into a walleye while drifting a sand bar. must have been one to many knicks in the line, when i set my hook *snap*.. retie a crawler harness and continue drifting the same bar. about an hour later i set the hook again, start reeling, find i had hooked some disgarded line. pulled it to the end to discover it was my line, and on the end was a 18" walleye.weirdest thing caught to date, a t-shirt, this past weekend in 23' of water. btw "hello" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centralmneyeguy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A number of years ago a friend and I were pulling cranks and his lure had surfaced because of a small weed. He was watching his graph and all of a sudden he says he has something. I look back and see his line rising off the water along with the crankbait and a seagull trying to fly off with it. After a good laugh we were able to free the seagull uninjured. I don't think either of us will forget that! My personal bests are an old tire and an old Diawa rod and reel combo.

Chad Halvorson Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 A few weeks ago I took a guy to Banks lake in Washington, he hooked this Abu Garcia in 60 feet off a bottom bouncer. So I told him to toss some gear on it and catch an Eye, would make for a great story. Here it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vister Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It might make sense someone lost that combo. Notice, it's a baitcasting rod with a spinning reel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Christianson Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Fishing the Miss last weekend, a guy that I know snagged this trophy. The pic didnt turn out too hot in the grass. Its a wood saw from back in the early 1900's I would guess. There are holes drilled on both ends where the wood handles were for a guy to stand on both sides to saw up trees. Jim caught this thing using plastics in deeper water, and managed to get the hook right in one of the holes where the handle was screwed on at one time. What are the odds???

Ely Lake Expert Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 The craziest thing I have ever caught was my own hat, 2 weeks after it blew off my head while boating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebjim Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 This spring I cought a drift sock fully outfitted with a harness. It came in open and took about 20 minutes to land. I thought I had a monster. It also came fully equipt with seven various crank baits that are in my tackel box now. I guess thoses guys should use better line. One time ice fishing a buddy lost his keys down the hole so we got the aqua view out and drilled a couple more holes. It took about an hour but we managed to hook them with a jiggin spoon.

mtrue68 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 One time ice fishing a buddy dropped his keys down the hole and they landed on his hook, Other wise they would have been lost and we would have had to find a ride home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragenald Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 My brother knocked my buck knife down the hole of my fish house in 38 ft of water. Of course he doesn't tell me. My uncle pulls up a knife out of my house 2 weeks later and I tell him it isn't mine, until I see my brother laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
