BTW, the warden was the same underachiever who shouted from the
bluff above the lagoon for us waders to hold up our licenses so he
could look at them through his binoculars on an earlier occasion.


I'm picturing that and it's just hilarious...

My son in law caught a mink on the Bitterroot last year. I was ready
to throw him (the son in law) out of the boat if the damn thing hadn't
broke off right away. the mink hauled out on a rock near the bank and
glared at us. pretty much evil incarnate.

I caught a seal jigging anchovies off of the coast of one of the
Channel Islands once upon a time. Luckily I broke it off before we
had to figure out what to do with a po'd seal.

I've caught clams a bunch of times while fishing in Ontario. I guess
the hook lands in their mouth and they grab on. Not much of a fight
though

clams have mouths?

Impressive .. and I thought that a nice pair of sunglasses was all you
needed for protection from the dangers of fly fishing :-)

Caught a pelecan whilst bait-casting in Pensacola. Damned thing swooped in
and snagged my bait mid-cast.

Wierdest thing I ever caught was a bunch of about 50 sets of car keys on a
chain when fishing in a harbour.

This Spring I caught a 10" wild brown trout with the ring of a condom
wrapped around its "neck" area. Wore a nasty gouge on top and in the
throat area. Not really recognizing what it was at first I hurriedly
removed it, inspected and dropped it. I did get photos of the damage
caused, but wish I'd taken a photo before removing it.

Save the jokes, I've heard them all from flyfishing friends......
