What's the strangest thing you caught?

[Guest]

I caught two huge salamanders or water dogs as we used to call them years a go sauger fishing, both weighed about two pounds each, one was black and the other was red. I haven't seen one since.I caught a water mocasin or water snake with a devils horse, drug him up on the bank and killed him with a stick and then had to cut the treble hooks out to get my plug back.I caught two grinnels or scaleycats on the same day about two years a go, one on a spinner bait, about 3 pounds and the other was caught on a yum dinger, it weighed around 10 to 12 pounds in a private pond.I have caught two bats, one on a spinner bait and I killed the other with the rod, I guess they were trying to catch the spinner baits.I caught my brother in laws ear with a lead head sauger fishing years a go.I snatched my fishing buddies ball cap off his head sauger fishing once.I caught a house cat with a lead head I was casting in the yard once, caught him in the mouth, he was cutting some dido's all over the yard untill the hook came out.I have even caught a few fish from time to time.

LOL! I was building a retaining wall about 2 yrs ago for an older couple who lived on a near by mtn.It was about 10:00 am one spring morning, when I was walking around the back of the home when I looked up to see a turkey nested in the edge of the woods. About that time a guy that I was working with walked up to see me sneaking up behind it. I got so close to it I was really kind of nervous.I reached down putting my hands on either side of the bird, while being very slow an quiet about the whole thing. When I picked the turkey up I turned around to show the guy who was laughing hasterically,suddenly the legs dropped down, its eyes opened, and it began to putt. I looked down in time to be flogged with each beat of the birds wings as it flew out of my arms.

I caught a cricket basket a couple of weeks ago at chick. I thought is was a thirty pound bass and immediately prepared myself for a pro angler position. Bummer!

Had a buddy in college that let his frat brothers convince him that lighter fluid would cure his crab problem. I'll never forget him running and jumping up and down the hall in our dorm. Not the "sharpest tool in the shed".
