| Hi everyone, I was talking to a friend and he said awhile ago he was fishing for muskie and actually snagged a muskie pole and reel. There's some weird stuff at the bottom of some lakes and I was wondering if anyone has snagged somthing while fishing? |

| Ice fishing 3 miles out on lake Michigan near Sturgeon Bay, caught a boot/ice cleat. Not like trolling where you are covering a large area, or even casting... This was jigging one spot, that apparently someone else must have been on or the current pushed it to me... We set the shack up that morning, no tracks or holes nearby. |

| This season alone: walleye crankbaits, painted turtle, whitefish, carp, catfish, snake swimming on the water, and bullfrog tadpole. Not a bad year so far! |

| It wasn't me but I was with a guy that somehow hooked a shake weight. If you don't know what they are it's hard to explain. |

| Urban fisheries can yield up some crazy stuff at times... Umbrellas, folding lawn chairs, car tires, a semi tire that fought me like a sturgeon, carpet, trees with a dozen baits snagged on them, dead carp, dead perch carcasses, boulders, jackets, sweaters. Its a crazy world out there. |

Location: Alsip, IL | Haha. I just got an under armor hat a few weeks ago tossing a bucktail. Open water fishing, so no chance of snags or anything, and man did I set the hook hard. Few years back drifting small suckers on a river I set the hook and though oh baby I'm finally breaking 50". Fight for a minute or 2 and when it comes up I see a 30+ pound snapping turtle. I couldn't believe it. I was so disappointed it wasn't a muskie but it was really cool to see that prehistoric looking turtle. |

Location: Poynette WI. | Along time ago I was fishing with my uncle in Tennesee and while out cat fishing I snagged a Dead Dalmation. I was probably only 12 years old at the time and thought I had a huge fish on, since the current made it feel like it was fighting. Freaked us out when we got it up to shore and figured out what we had on. It didnt look like it had been in the water or dead for too long... Poor dog! |

Location: midwest | Had a sucker swim down and snag a pair of boxer shorts. I brought them back to the ramp and hung them on ToddM's trailer. Besides that I snagged a dipsey diver, snubber, flasher and fly hooked to a 4lb coho on Lake Michigan while casting a spoon off a breakwall. I managed to hook a swivel at the front of the dipsey with the spoon at the beginning of a the retrieve! |

| Sounds like some good catches, the only thing I've ever snagged is fishing line and a nice piece of driftwood that's going to go In my aquarium |

| Lots of tackle and a fair amount of junk. Set the hook hard on what felt like a fish. Couldn't figure out what I had, because I was able to move it some, and then it would stop. Finally had to get right over it and pull the line with my hands. "What the heck is that? A rope? What is it tied to? No, that's not a rope. It's attached to something over there.. Oh. Oh %$&!"
Never thought much about how they got power out to the islands before that. |

Location: MN | One year on walleye opener my dad fought an ice scoop for about ten minutes. At one point he even said this might be his wall fish(30+ Incher). He hooked it on the tip of the handle in deep water so it had a lot of drag. We were dying laughing when it came up. Anytime he gets a nice fish on now I ask him if he's sure it's not a ice scoop. |
