My aunt's brother had one of his poles end up in the canal while he was night fishing. Not sure if he slept but by the time we woke up in the morning he had caught his pole with a 3lb catfish still hooked.

Yup. Big red broke my line in one pond. Caught him again a couple hours later in the neighboring pond. Got my spinnerbait back.

ETA: This is him.

Last year in Toledo Bend I caught a rod and reel. It had a bunch of line still in the water. Reeled it up and it had a catfish on it. Does that count?

Was the catfish in good condition?

Alive and kicking

The rod couldn't have been down there that long. It was a cheap push button reel and cheap rod. I kept it, but it wasn't exactly like hitting the jackpot.

When I was a kid we were fishing on the south end of Old River. My dad had his nice rod and reel proped up under the outboard control. A big ol sacalait pulled the whole rig down. Dad was pissed. Next morning we were fishing the same hole when I caught a fish. There was another hook and line in its mouth. We pulled up the line an it was my dads rod and reel from the day before.
Dad was so excited. Damn I miss him

My dad and I were fishing Three Rivers Lake near Macintosh, AL, when a cork went floating by the boat against the current. My dad grabbed the cork and line and started pulling it up. I had to grab the net and we pulled in a 3-4lb catfish.

I caught a bream on a beetle spin. While reeling it in it got tangled in some fishing line that was attached to a 3lb bass with a lure in it's mouth. I got a 2 for 1

I've caught bass on more than one occasion that had a hookless plastic worm in its gut.

Yes, an old rusty hook on the lip. And, as a bonus find, a bass with an entire plastic lizard sticking out of the bass's arse with just the head and shoulders in the bass.

bream fishing in Crackerhead...removed the hook out of a good un and threw the line over while I was putting it in the ice chest...rod and reel goes overboard in 7' of water...drug around for a while with a expanding lure retreiver and nothing...5 minutes later I caught a catfish in the same spot that had my rod and reel hooked to it...

At coon point one day my brother caught a trout. When we unhooked it we realized he snagged the swivel of a line that was in its mouth. The previous line broke above the swivel and my brother hooked the swivel. Damnedest thing I've seen while fishing. Had I not seen it I would say he was full of shite.

Dad had a friend that dropped a rod over the side of the boat while spec fishing. The next weekend in the same spot this guy catches a rod and reel that wasn't even his. A few minutes later he snags his from the previous weekend.

Wasn't in a fishes mouth but still a cool story

There is a shark in Venice with my Whopper Plopper in his mouth. If you catch it, let me know.
