whats the strangest thing you ever caught a fish on?

Used gummy worms for sturgeon.  Ran out of corkies and used orange foam ear plugs.  That worked.  Caught a fall chinook on the C.R. using a larger silver spoon that I cut the handle off of and placed a swivel at the top and a side wash hook on a split ring at the other end.

Caught a bikini whale with a tube snake.

I love that skittles one taste the rainbow!!! thats awsome!! I've also tickled a couple types of fish trout, and chubs but I almost caught a fish on a moth when I ran out of worm while trout fishing many years ago. I put the hook through the back end and carefully flipped it out over the water, and the line was light enough that the moth accually flew with it for a couple feet then rested on the water where a brown trout snatched it, but I missed him when I set the hook.

mm? Caught one Trout on a minnow pattern flat fish and found two others trying to take it away from him all the way to shore....lured in Trout with Parmesan cheese sprinkles (just to watch'em feed, they had been attacking me as I swam in that lake.) Used a patch of Scotchbrite and foil once to get some Trout...

Got something with Cheetos to bite in Greenlake once. Don't know what it was but it damn near tipped over my Float Tube

fishing willow creek in Alaska for silvers we were using salmon roe and my brother bought yellow smiley bobbers at walmart the salmon kept hitting the bobbers instead of the eggs so we took off the eggs and moved the bobber down by the hooks .we both limited out .

We were silver fishing at Neah Bay one year fishing was so hot we had numerous quadruples going down. We ran out of herring and began using the head from the cut plug and they were slamming that. Fishing was so good, one of us got snagged on a piece of kelp and caught a fish just by reeling in fast with a piece of kelp on the hook.  Weird thing was we went out the next day and couldn't even get a bite. They had just moved on.

Caught the eye of my swivel I had lost earlier and it had a 10lb catfish on it.

I was fall fishing on Lewis River and 25 lb chinook had broken off up stream.  He was dragging about 20' of 40lb mono.  It tangled around my line and weight.  I reeled in as much as I could then hand lined him in.  It was a legal hook up in the mouth, so I kept him.

I was invited to go panning for gold while in visiting a Friend in northern Calif. one year. Wasn't planning on fishing. I noticed some nice trout in the creek and the wheels started turning. I pulled a piece of filament out of a nylon rope I had in the truck for line, found a bobby pin in my first aid pack for a hook, and used a periwinkle out of the creek for bait. took awhile but I landed one. No playing around, it was a hook and jerk!

Caught a fish on a couple baked beans messing around at Shannon Lake once.

CMG reminded me of when I was a little kid fishing on the Natchez Trace in Tennessee for trout with a hook made out of a bobby pin and balled up pieces of wonder bread.  I caught a ton of blue gill on a red rubber band.

Can't say what the stranest thing I have caught fish on it's a secret. But the strangest thing I have seen someone els catch fish on was eggs they purchased from a bait shop. LOL

there was a guy on the green last year when the pinks were in. he was slamin emm on styrofoam.

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.........

My family and I use canned cat food for crab down on the Oregon coast.  Have not tried it up here yet!  Prob will this year for sure!  Just punch some holes in the can to get water mixxing in and out and your golden!
