Odd catches while fishing

I caught a brook trout at new Hamburg around 20 years ago. Only one I've ever seen there. I don't see why they'd stock trout in that part of the river unless they just want to feed the pike and musky.

18" brown trout caught inside of an under the road pipe while fishing for catfish bait in the city.

wow amazing

Heyyyy Captain..... I caught a live fish once. Honest!

a good story from one of our trips to northern Ontario:

In the late 80's we caught 8 American Eels one night Fall fishing in a boat at the mouth of Oak Orchard / Point Breeze at night .....all on scented salmon egg sacs ! Talk about slimy and slippery ! Look like silver gray snakes and some were over 3 foot long and made a mess on a boat carpet floor ....wasn't my boat ......lol 

I caught crabs once at the mouth of Walnut...
Thank God Sabrina has retired, no more of that....
 

When we were on spring break during our senior year in college, did a bluewater fishing trip. Since the partying had been hearty, one of the guys fell asleep in the fighting chair.

The first mate quietly reeled in the line and attached a vinyl album to the line, then tossed it back out. One of us gave the rod a solid whack, which woke the person in the chair.

The captain kept zigging and zagging the boat so the record would pull to one side, then the other. He would slow down so that line could be gained, then speed up so it ripped drag.

Our poor roommate hung on for dear life. We dumped water on his head to keep him cool and he wound fight all the harder. After 30 minutes, he was ready to quit, but the mate kept telling him to hold on because he thought he was hooked into a record. This just spurred him on and he wound start pumping and reeling all the harder.

Every time he would start to weaken, someone would say they thought he had a record. Finally after an hour or so, the captain basically cut the engine and when the line got close to the boat, the album flew out of the water, since all pressure was off, and landed on the deck.

The roommate just sat there completely stunned and wore out. The mate picked it up and said, “Tokd you it was a record, it’s the Beatles.”

Haha haha... Great story daddy's 😂😂😂

Used to get some nice perch out of Siegel swamp years ago. Would hit on white woolie buggers while bass fishing.
