I was bank fishing next to a bridge when I heard a boat banging the waves and then slow down to no wake as it came under the bridge to my side. A pretty lady must have gotten "re-arranged" because she had moved to the bow and dropped her bikini top to get unsnarled and presentable. Can't remember if I caught any fish that day, but, who cares?
I was truly blessed that wonderful day!
Go Vols!
Me and a friend were out spearfishing near San Luis Obispo back in the 80s for Halibut. I was a single dad back then and would take my son with me on most of my outdoor adventures. He would stay in the Zodiac inflatable boat when we were down. After the dive we when around the corner to a place called Pirates Cove. It was a known nude beach but we were just looking to get into some calm water and relax while having a beer. This couple from the beach decided to swim out to our boat and talk to us. I dont think my son realized the situation but the lady popped up and pulled herself half way out of the water over the side of the the boat, and there she was... My son was about 10 yrs old and didn't know what to do as she talked to us for about 10 min. I was observing him and he was looking everywhere but. The guy she was with just swam around the boat while she chatted. He still remembers that day... All we got was an eye full but no Halibut...

Caught a river otter one evening while fishing with large skipjack. I was targeting flatheads. Also caught a brown bat one night while bass fishing. It was the strangest thing. I threw out my my line and while in mid air it stopped causing a birds nest from haties. Then the awful lest tickets you ever seen on top of the water.....

I caught a 260z while fishing from a bridge. He snagged my crappie jig around his antenna on my my backcast. He must have been going 80!

You can't. You have to steak him out, if he'll sit there long enough.
Well it wasn't so much a funny thing that I caught. Though my uncle thought it was quite funny when my young neighbor boy caught my earlobe with his crappie jig. Yep, buried that baby sideways in my lobe. All I felt was a sharp little jerk on my ear and then heard the pop of the line. I reached up to feel my ear after seeing my uncles eyes wide and a big grin on his face, and there it was, dangling from my earlobe, a 1/32 oz jig.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,

Nice ear ring Frank!
My grandmother got me in the ear with an eppinger Daredevil up in Canada one year. The line however did NOT break. I can still hear her laughing!
I have OCD "Obsessive Crappie Disorder"
