| Casting in the Mississippi River one evening, I snagged a "genuine" fake rolex watch
that had the correct time and worked for almost 3 years after I retrieved it. I gave it to a guy who worked for me as a 1 month anniversary gift.
The spot has never given up another piece of jewelry. |

| I caught a pair of flannel pants once. Also, me and a few friends had a good laugh when I let my bulldawg sink just a little too far and picked up an old soggy branch off the bottom of the lake. It was hooked just right that it swayed back and forth during the "fight," so I thought for sure it was a fish. I also had a monster blue heron attack a Seducer, but he didn't get hooked. I can't imagine trying to unhook that thing...
And as a kid I once watched a guy (who was always a complete a** to everyone at the fishing hole) catch a piece of tar in the river at a public pier. He thought he had a monster walleye on with the current providing just a little bit of pull. I think every single person there laughed at him. |

Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | My buddy's Dad also found a body while salmon fishing. It got stuck on the downrigger cable and it wasn't pretty when the Coast Guard pulled it off. I caught what turned out to be a X-mas tree cemented in a 5 gallon bucket wrapped in chicken wire on Pewaukee. Keopp brought it up and it was full of lures. Come to think of it he never gave me mine back. Fought good l had a friend of mine with the net for 10 minutes waiting, LOL

| Caught a lawn chair on a bulldawg on Loon Lake in Illinois. Caught a ultralight spincast rod on Waubesa with a white bass still attached. Man, I hope I never catch a body. Always feared that when I was a river rat.

Location: Northern IL | Sunshine,
The walleye stringer, that wasn't at Kinkaid was it? We've actually done that a couple of times, you'd think we'd learn at some point.....
Caught many strange things, clothing, condoms, pine trees, an alligator while bass fishing in the Everglades, that thing was pist! An iron chair, dozens of anchors and rods with fish (dead) on them but the coolest one has to be, from what I was told was a jaw bone of a moose estimated to be 300-600 yrs. I can't be totally sure about any of that but is a jaw bone and it was an eye opener!
One of these days we'll get a diver down and check out if there's anything else there.
It's hooking into a body that freaks me out, not looking forward to that!

I caught a boot once and on the very next cast I got a glove...
If the next cast was a hat, I'd have gotten out of there before I caught the guy who was wearing it all! |

|
| I caught a very large pair of Whitey Tighties one time... a sandal, and A fishing pole that the drunk neighbor lost of his dock the year before, it was pretty hilarious when he waded out n found it on the end of my line |

| I have caught a pelican, a brand new rod and reel, the frame of a sunken ice shanty (the only reason I know is I swam down to unhook my favorite lure), an old willies jeep that was lost many moons ago through the ice (also swam down to unhook a lure) on the bay of green bay and when I was a kid I caught my grandpa in the cheek at a fly in resort in Canada. And last week I hook a fatty dirty diaper out of milwaukee. |

| i've landed old punch-top beer cans, tires, boot, lawn chair with zebra mussels, several nice muskie lures, a muskie rod and reel dropped by my boat partner (had to work the "spot" for 30 minutes)
My fishing buddy landed a 20 pound mushroom anchor
My son got a rusty crayfish 
My favorite was about 30 years ago, trolling for muskies on a windy fall day. I hooked the rope which connected both pieces of an old metal perforated bait bucket. Turned off the outboard and fought the bucket for 10 minutes while drifting in the wind, could even feel the "monster" head-shaking!

| after all we are musky fishermen ...correct lol. |

| I dropped a nice walleye combo in about ten feet of water on a windy day. As we drifted away I took my buddies pole with a 1/4 jig and casted in the general direction of the rod. I snagged the very last eye on my first and only chance as we were drifting away! |
