What is the wierdest thing that you have ever caught?

I was fishing for bullhead one night, useing a warm(real) and very light weight. I casted out, but couldn't see were too because it was so dark. I got a hit right away, I started reeling in. It was wierd because the line stayed high in the air. I thought maybe I had hit the tree that was close by, but i kept getting little tugs as I was reeling. Well I finally got my line reeled in close enough to see what I had it was a bat. I don't know who was freaked out more me or the bat. Well luckly he got loose before I reeled all the way in.

One other time when I was real young I caught myself in the back of the neck, man did that hurt.

I caught a water moccasin once, and I caught a motorcycle(it had been stolen and dumped).

FOOLPROOF?
Never underestimate the power of a fool!

What if the &quot;Hokey Pokey&quot; really is what it's all about?

A Browing BPS 3&quot; w/black synthetic stock still in the case. The worst part was I went out diving, looking for this gun 3 different times and never found it. Then when I went fishing about 10 yards from my search area and snagged the darn thing. The owners already collected the insurance money on it and didn't want it back so I got me a new shotgun.

Wait, wait, ready PLUG EM!!!!!
