there is one on the bottom of the combahee, nice little shade spot with a deep hole and a wasps nest. We stayed in the boat but the telephone got chunked from the suprize and pain. I know were two are at, haven’t been used in years but amazing the results you can get from them. Older and wiser now, not worth it.
Not just for catfish.

aligator gar caught w/ marshmallows when i was a kid. we could not get them to eat, for weeks, then one day in frustration put one of my candy marshmallows on the hook and they nailed it immediately
Stabbed a doormat in the head with a pocket knife in a tiny runoff creek, middle of the day. 22" fish in 8 - 10" of water.

rock bass on chewing gum, but casting mulberries at carp stacked under a mulberry tree is probably up there too. also have a few pieces of unraveled nylon rope for gar velcro in the tackle box as well

It ain’t no mystery…this beer’s history!
Watched a friend catch a bream with a nine iron while playing golf a few years back! Fish was up close to shore on a bed. Friend eased his nine iron under the fish and flipped him up onto shore. One of the strangest things I’ve seen…

Endangered black sea bass trolling a select ballyhoo on the downrigger, osprey at the jetties on a mullet under a balloon (osprey released), 9 lb flounder on a frozen fiddler crab, lasso’d a catfish without hook touching him, snagged a “swimming equalizer” and brought in the red who broke someone else off, 24" trout on a blue crab, and a 2 foot octopus on a mudminnow.
300 lb Blue Marlin caught on a Budweiser Natural draft can rigged with a skirt by a good friend of mine in the Bahamas 20 some years ago.
First trip outside Rochester NY my dad took me and a friend goose hunting, prob 20 yrs ago, crossing over a creek, must have been 30 degrees, swear I saw a snake, shot the movement with my 12ga, killed the largest northern pike I had ever seen. My dad still tells that story. Says I screamed like my sister!!
I was throwing a Rat-L-Trap near the dam on Goose Creek Reservoir last summer and caught a heron. I was casting to a drop-off that was holding some nice bass. I had already caught several from the spot when I was joined by the heron. Second cast, he nailed the lure. I had a heck of a time getting it into the boat and unhooked. Good thing I had an extra towel on board. Watched Hairball cast a bait near the jetties once and caught a pelican in mid flight. Hooked it in the wing as it swooped down towards the water. Birds get pissed when they get caught. Lol.

I once chased a bass from deeper water in a river to a shallower creek until he ran out of water and I scooped him up with a t-shirt. True story
I’ve also had a mullet jump in the boat. Doesn’t get any easier than that.
8# bass on a beer cap, X2 on the lantern and sheet for mullet

I was in Baghdad in 2006 and wanted to fish really bad… found a broken HUMVEE antenna, used 30 feet of 550 cord for my “fly line” borrowed a hook and 4 feet of mono… used dental floss and some shredded 550 cord to tie a wooly bugger and caught 3 fish ( a carp relative they call a Shillik) before they broke the fly off on me… my brother saved the day when I got a package in the mail with a rod and reel and some real tackle

A few years ago we were into the tuna thick at the Hole. I gaffed one at the side of the boat and noticed that the leader kept going out of his gills. Angler kept reeling and up came a 2nd tuna, that actually had been hooked by the bait. All we could figure was that when the first fish hit the bait it dropped through his gills and the second one picked it up. It was a nice two for one deal…
when i lived in boone nc i decided to go trout fishing one day near the tennesee border. had my light action spinner outfit (which is still my go to setup)
i had just came back from visitin some family in florida and still had a doa shrimp on there. was going to fish with nightcrawlers but decided to get the cobwebs out to avoid tangles. first cast with the skrimp… bam 18 inch rainbow… biggest one i caught that day
