You need to mellow out on your hook set.....

I'll drop him a line & see if we can't get...
'the rest of the story'.

Well, here's the rest of the story.........

From what I remember of that last corn'eye that I got at Wilhelm, which was quite a few years ago------ I had corn on the hook as underbait and was using some bright yellow tater packbait and was still fishing, so the bait was just sitting there (not reelin' in) when I caught the walleye.  It was a 22 incher and nearly 4 lbs.  I don't keep fish very often, but that was the last fish I kept for the table.  Not your usual walleye bait, but not that surprising as I've caught a variety of fish (and other critters) over the years on corn and other carp baits. 
I used to use a piece of corn along with livebait for trout when I used to trout fish.  I also remember using corn for perch back when I was a kid.  Plus a variety of other fish caught over the years on corn including panfish, suckers, plenty of catfish, and even turtles.
As for other strange catches-----I've caught a couple of ducks-----the latest coming last year on bread, of course.

But my strangest catch below came yet again on corn (actually flavored pips) and it didn't have gills.  This thing came from Wilhelm as well, nightfishing there in Jan. quite a few years back on a warm night(for Jan.) when there wasn't ice on the lake.  It put up a pretty good fight both in the water and on land.  If ya look closely, ya can see the hook in it's bottom lip.

One of the musky guys has to say "BAIT" !

So far , the muskrat wins by a mile with the wallet and 56 bucks second and the hubcap 3rd. Whats the old joke, you blow out the candle on the lamp and i'll knock 10 lbs off my fish...WF

this mite not be that strange of a catch but it wasone of the best fights i ever had
while drifteing minny's one evening at buffalo creek i hooked into this thing
now the water was high so i was on the upper side of the tracks on the wall wich is usally 8-10 ft obove water level had trout 5ft 6in rod w/ 4lb test
the bite was lite but steady i had already caught 4 or more when i felt a lite tic then another so i set the hook the rod instatly bent an took drag as i held on i started to gain line then it took off agian a little slower this time this happened several so i gentley tighted the drag alittle an slowly gained ground i saw my split shot so i knew it was close so i backed up to get it out of the current reeled in a little more so i could see my prize #$#@@#@ a damd stump with a bicycle tube on it when it turned just rite the current caught it and off it would go some catch

My advice to young men - If you like a girl - look at their mother - 99% of the time that's what you're getting!

Taken to heart Thx
