funniest thing you caught.....!

[Davey1970]

last year on blyth pier, me son ryan struck in2 what he said was a good knock, his rod had a nice arch as he reeled in, and a thought, that looks a good fish.
when ryan got his catch to the surface, he turned and asked for help, as he could`nt reel the lift.
a looked over the rail, there was a mass of weed, so a hand balled it up for him, it hit the pier with a big bang.


searching through the weed, ryan found 8 good sinkers, and a penn multiplier, of the boat kind, but no fish.

any1 else caught owt.....?

fishing the tyne once thought I had a good fish it, line was going this way and that way and the harder I reeld in the harder it went, got it to the surface it was a sea anenome which had taken my bait right inside a pint glass

I fished King Eddie’s bay one dark night with a couple of mates. After a cracking bite, I started reeling in a monster fish that fought hard in the rough sea, sometimes giving line sometime taking line as it headed back out to sea. My normally mick-taking mates by this time wandered over and were getting seriously interested to see the behemoth.
Knackered, I eventually landed a full sized railway sleeper that must have floated out of the river. Mates didn’t rip the ‘iss out of me; much.

A dead sheep (was alive when it went in) when i used to work in slaughter house in Felling,were using line and hooks but not of the fishing kind.

Possibly one of the best things I ever caught was from the customs house (mill dam).

Was fishing on my own there in winter maybe a year ago or more and it has just got dark, had two rods out hoping for a few codling. Seen one rod had a cracking knock and a drop-back (slack liner) so quickly retrieved and caught up and struck... alotta weight on... good fish on!!! (or so I thought)...

When I managed to get what I thought was a good fish to the side, I nearly crapped my pants... all I seen was an arm and a leg... reall thought I had caught a dead body ... It wasnt until I got my headlight on full and seen what its was, and I fell over laughing... It was a full size manikin, the ones used in clothes shops!!! How the hell I caught it or it even got in the river I'll never know, but it was certainly a supprise catch!!!

Dont think I'll ever forget that me... unless I catch something weirder!
