whats the strangest thing you ever caught a fish on?
« on: March 16, 2010, 09:27:54 PM »
The strangest thing I have caught a fish on was a 338 cawse filled with lead with a treble hook. Caught a kelpgreenling with a 19 pound lig attatched.

My bare hands.  We used to tickle trout out of the creeks for lunch because we could not carry fishing poles in the fire truck.

ha ha let me translate...that would be a 338 case.... and a 19 pound ling ...ha ha.... besides fish eating marshmallows, which is really weird when you think about it...I have caught fish on hot dogs too....   but one time all i had was a size 10 hook and a fishin pole...found an ear plug, a blue bird feather, and a twisty tie like for bread on the ground after about 5 minutes of looking....hooked the earplug like a grub and attached the blue bird feather to the plug with the twisty-tie...leaving "little arms" on both sides and I was in business....caught a bunch of little 10-12 inch bass with it and a couple of 8-9 inch perch by top-water fishing it...

Caught fish with my hands s well.  I have used chewing gum to catch bass and rock fish.  Hot dogs and Ivory soap for catfish.  My Grandpa would use a spark plug soaked in WD-40 and a treble hook for bottom fish.

Caught fish on part of a roast beef sandwich, a bear hook many times, and caught a perch once when I was swimming with my bare hands in Lake Washington.

i've pulled trout out of the water on the sinker before, of course they let go before you can get them all the way out, but in the small pools of the rapids in the southfork of the clearwater river in idaho, the fish were so hungry one day they just kept hitting the sinker cause it was shiny

UI used to use dirty socks for sturgeon, with a little smelly jelly. I have noodled a few catfish, but last year a buddy hook a summer king on a corona bottle cap with a trebble hook. We lost the fish near the boat.

Caught a carp on a piece of a hotdog.  Caught a dinky largemouth while bluegill fishing on my bobber.  Little sumbitch just would not let go of the bobber.

Ran out of crab bait once (novice at time) and put a whole pack of baloney in the bait box.  Nothing would touch that.  Hmmmm.........
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Caught a stringer full of rainbows with a pack of skittles when I was about 13.  Every time the skittles commercial comes on with the phrase "taste the rainbow" I think about it.
