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.

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

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......

Are you sure that wasn't a Trouser Trout ?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Oh, goody.......I was beginning to think this one wouldn't be worth the
admission price.

Nah......just kidding. As long as the world is filled with people who,
without coercion from any outside agency, pick stupid names for themselves,
it is a safe bet that they have not yet plumbed the depths of their penchant
for self-immolation.

watch.
