What are the weirdest things you've caught while fishing ?

Well... my weirdest thing has to be a catfish skeleton. My wife once caught
a bra... but it didn't fit.

Pelican.
Quite a fight to get him in so I could unhook him (yeah, I could have
just cut the line, but ....)
He was pretty docile once I had him under an arm; those big birds don't
weigh hardly anything for their large size.

Beaver

Was cat fishing one night on the river with 30# line, I was using no
light, just threw out tight lining, and kicked back watching the stars.
My bait runner took off, reel clicking like all get out, I went to set
the hook, but felt nothing, just started bringing the slack up real
fast, Thought a limb had drifted into my line, instead it was a beaver
that had swam into it, I ended up snagging his right foot with the hook,
and the fight was on. He wasn't that big, maybe 10 lbs, I had planed on
getting the hook out, but I quickly changed my mind and just cut the
line short :-)

Since I also fish sal****er, I have hooked several pelicans. Last one a
week ago, shore fishing about 30 miles from La Paz, Baja, MX. young one.
Took several tries to get himself hooded up with a Crocodile's trebles. I
got his beak under his wing and he/she calmed down. Could remove the croc
and she swam away giving me an evil eye.
