Weirdest things that have happened on a fishing trip?

[sbuse]

I was fishing on the st. Crouix river last year and my encounter topped all others I have had. I was fishing close to some rocks in a smaller wingdam/shelf. I didn't get any bites so I started to real up my line. 2 cranks in and I hooked something. Just dead weight and a lot of it. I got it 1/2 way in and it hit a rock that snagged it. After a few tugs i popped it free. When I got it in I saw a "leaf" on the hook. I grabbed the hook to get the leaf off and it turned out to be a chunk of shirt. A flannel shirt chunk was on my hook. I got chills because, in this stretch of river several snowmobiles had fallen in during the winter and several people were never found. I am fairly sure I had a body on my line. I left at that point. I did not fish that spot again all year. We always joked about big logs being a dead body, but this time it could have been true.

Before anyone tries to say it is b.s. shortly after this event they found a body in the river not far down stream from were I was fishing. They didn't say what clothes they had on, but I didn't bother to look into it. I was and still am creped out about it. The thought has crossed my mind several times "what would I have done if it was a dead person and came all the way in??"

The best reason to not go take a pee or get a drink. You miss fish all the time when you're gone.

On the contrary things can happen on the good side during a drink/pee run. I was fishing a semi flooded river in calf deep of water. About 2 am I had to pee. Turned to find a spot and saw something jump in the water at my feet. Turned on my head lamp to see and it was a baby longnose gar. Scooped it up and in the minnow bag it went. Started looking around and found a total of 9 baby longnose gars that night. Didn't catch anything on the rods but hell of a night.

My friend and I were bow fishing one day and we were wading. He was in the lead and he said "I hear this strange squeaking". Then he walked a bit more and said "hey their porkin!" Turned out to be two muskrats doing the deed.

We like to sight trout fish through the ice. The trout run just below the ice so we fish out of a spear hole, watch the trout come in and get them to bite. While in an intense stare into the hole and muskrat popped up. Scared the crap out of us. Ever since then I have wanted to go out into the middle of the lake and find a city of ice houses. Go into the middle of them and drop an muskrat down the hole. Then wait for the screams.

I once caught a dead 3' walleye(it was floating). We were trolling and one of our lines got snagged on it.

36" walleye!!! Pictures with a tape measure has to prove that! That's probably close to if not a record walleye

Not it isn't that uncommon. I have caught several 36" walleyes. Along with countless 32" fish. Those are 10-12lb fish depending on girth. Over 20" girth then you in the record class. That puts the fish around 15lbs plus.

Went on a fishing/canoe trip in northern Ontario and decided to start snaking on what I thought were dates.
Well long story short after eating about 30 of them I asked the chick who gave me them what they were.
Let's just say 30 prunes can hit you hard and fast.
Worst part is after I rushed to shore and ran into the woods I dropped my shorts into my .... (use your imagination) anyways I had to yell out to my buddy who ran over and asked why I'm standing in the woods naked.
I explained why and we both started crying from laughter.
Worst part is our wet bags were all packed away so I had to borrow these batty riders that one of the girls were wearing over her bathing suit bottoms.
Everyone including myself was crying and rolling around when we all met up at our camp site.
It wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing to have on. I felt pretty weird lolol
