What is the wierdest thing you've ever caught?

[fishguru73]

I've had to spook ducks quite a few times by violently twitching my float or top water lure and have even had to stop them from taking bait by ripping it away from them. Luckily, I've never had to unhook one but I'm sure the ordeal has an unsettling sound. I did hook one of those blue billed griebs (I think that's what they're called but I'm no bird watcher) by his hind leg when he did a magical swerve right over the jig I was trying to avoid him with. I thought I would be Mr. Respecter of God's Little Creatures and try to gently fix the problem but that sucker was on the war path and I think that grabbing him would have been like sticking your hands in a blender. That bird took a few swipes at me and I wimped out and cut the line. I hope the bird was able to get the jig out by pecking away and if he put half the effort into it as he did trying to have his way with me then I'm sure the wound healed nicely.
