The night hawk was weirder than the bat.
But I think the rattlesnake takes the cake.

Two years ago my brother and I were fishing at Lake Thunderbird, near
Norman, Oklahoma. On a cast from the dam my brother snared a wayward
seagull in midair. The angry bird couldn't fly in that condition. My
brother had to real him in and untangle him from the line. What a mess.
The rest of us on shore just watched in a bemused amazement.

When it was all over the bird flew away, no doubt wondering what that was
all about.


That happened to me at the Vedder Canal in BC. I cast high to get across
the river and the stupid bird ran right into it.

I had to reel it in and hold it's beak to get my lure back.

LOL
