    Default Strange fish


    What is the strangest species of fish that you have caught? Mine is a tie. 1) a Grinnell (bowfish) from Illinois' Wabash River. 2) Eelpout from Minnesota's Rainey Lake.

    I caught my brother once, and he’s pretty weird sometimes.

    Even though it's not actually a "fish" ..... I'd say a "Mudpuppy" from the KY River ... back in my teen years.
    But the strangest "thing" I've caught was a pop top soda can ... with a weedless jig ... hooked in the pop top (Watts Bar Lake, Tn)

    I was catfishing here at Perry Park.
    Decided to check my bait cuz these lakes are known for their turtles.
    So I'm reeling in and my line gets heavy.
    On instinct I set the hook.
    I'm thinking I just snagged me a whopper of some sort.
    So I'm reeling like a madman.
    Only this fish isn't fighting.
    I'm thinking I just got me a turtle.
    Mmm! Mmm!
    I gonna eat good!
    So I get it closer to the bank, and I see black.
    Hmm???
    So I reel it in and I just caught me a 55...
    Not pound...GALLON!!! garbage bag full of somebody's trash that they submerged in the middle of the lake.
    Some clown must have got bored and cleaned out his boat.
    Figured no one was around so he'll just chuck it right here.
    Talked about pissed.
    Not only did I have to catch it, I had to drive it home and put it in my can.

    Not on a hook and line but I shot a triple tail goldfish while bowfishing that weighed 3 pounds. That was on West Point Lake probably in 1993. I thought it was a sunken orange NERF football. I guess whoever flushed it down the toilet never thought it would make it.

    Oh and I caught a Mussle while stripe fishing that was as big as my hand. The whole sassy shad was inside the Mussle. It must have been open and feeding and my bait landed in it. I thought I had a 20 lb stripe on. Was fishing in the tailrace below Guntersville dam and in that current that Mussle was turning like a boat prop. It would run up river, then head back down river. My pole was doubled over.

    My friends Dad carried us fishing when we were kids. His sister, about 6-8 swung back to cast from the bank and when the rod came forward, a game warden came out of the bushes screaming with a hook in his lip.
