Andy135 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 As the title suggests, what's the strangest thing you've caught that wasn't a fish? I've had a sea anemone, various shellfish, plastic wrapping and several trees (on the back cast when fly fishing). Can anyone do better? Quote
Saintly Fish Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Here is you weight caught anemone As you well know, I’ve caught the scarf from around a coda neck before. Quote

SiDfish Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Caught the undersea cable to a small island. Seagulls, a gannet, and a couple of cormorants (bass livebaits). Bats when flyfishing at night. A mate caught a cat. He left his rod on the pier with a conger trace and bait hanging to come and help me net a fish. We heard a load of angry cat and looked up to see a cat hanging from the pier on his line, like a pendulum, neatly hooked in the scissors. I was laughing so much that I found it difficult to help unhook the cat. It was severely p1ssed off. ever optimistic, GPSguru, Andy135 and 1 other 1 3 Quote

SiDfish Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I love animals and will normally be the first to help in an emergency. It's just that this cat, swinging over the sea with all its hair stood on end and sounding like a Tasmanian Devil just reduced me to collapsing with laughter. We did get it released and took it to the vet. GPSguru, Andy135 and Geoff 2 1 Quote

Odyssey Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 My best was a bus.... Basically I was fishing a road bridge called the lougher bridge for flounder. I put my rod down and there was a bus waiting behind me in a queue of traffic. Bus driver opened the door to ask has I had much etc.... in this exchange I had somehow managed to get my rig stuck in the door. I didn’t know until he drove off and promptly emptied my reel....

Well there was one time I strapped my rods to a roof rack and left my speed master reel in free spool. The entire thing emptied itself on the A48 in Cardiff. I only knew when I saw line flapping behind me and blue lights as a police car had found my genie clip. I then had to wind the entire 300 yards of line back on while suffering a lecture about safe loading of a car.... Saintly Fish, GPSguru and Geoff 3 Quote
Geoff Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I know this sounds like a tale from the Dennis the menace, but it is honestly true. Joyce and I took a friend and his family for a canal boat holiday in Shropshire. I took Benjamin (friends 9 year old son) fishing down the bank. Benny called me over and said that he snagged the bottom. I took the rod and tried to clear the snagg. After a couple of minutes something gave and I was able to retrieve something heavy (definitely Not a fish), but an old w Wellinton boot - full of mud an water of course, but to my amazement Benny had also caught a live Gudgeon, not on the hook but in the boot!

You so obviously don’t cook. Who has a numbered hob burner? It’s not a fan oven is it! Maybe you should join Jeeves in the kitchen one day and get him to give you a run down of the place and how it all works.👍🏻 Quote
