Have you ever caught anything other than fish?

[bungral]

ive caught many plastic bags they weigh a ton when full of water. caught nearly half a tree the other day that had several items of clothing on it. caught a few shopping trollies. ive caught planks of wood

 

Pretty much the same as me.. most of mine is from the Thames or a little river near me known as The Gunge.

A swallow intercepted my waggler-fished single maggot in mid-air and was landed and safely returned.

 

A coot, on floatfished bread in six feet of water, again landed and returned.

 

And from the beach I watched a mate convinced he was into a double-figure Cod, only to land a fisherman`s a%*#hole attached to a bloody huge stone

When I first started fishing I caught a ladys skirt . I t gave my dad great pleasure taking the hook out .

I've hooked a few odd things over the years, but the catch that gave me the biggest shock was when reaching for my landing net to land a large french carp. As I lifted the net from the metre or so of drop in front of my swim, I managed to encompass a Coypu that just happened to be taking in the night air whilst sitting on my net mesh.

 

..........He may have been as surprised as me, but he was no where near as terrified!!

An elastic band neatly caught on the point of a treble on a Mepps spinner from the Glos canal. Pretty good shot i thought.

 

We also have a colony of Terrrapins and there have been sightings of a Alligator or Crocodile.

I could see that it was in fact a sack. I had to use my landing net to get it on to the towpath, I then cut it open. The smell and sight of a couple of dead kittens, that had been festering in the warm water for some time, caused me to throw up, and it was some time before I could bring myself to continue fishing.

 

i feel sorry for ya mate, it must have been disgusting!

mine has to be a set of handcuffs, still in the leather sheath, put up one hell of a fight in the Thames at Kingston in the winter flow, took a good 20+ minutes to get them in, still out in the shed.

I have caught both a Swift and a swallow when flyfishing...both on the backcast.

 

Several tufties on boilies.

 

And ny mates left earlobe on float tackle many years ago
