I once free gaffed a little cobia.

I've caught a triple tail doing this.

I've caught pouldeau and ringnecks with bare hands running to blind in the am. Last year I popped up from laydown on a flock of teal and one hit the lid on my blind. It tumbled to ground and took off again. I caught a widgeon drake in a cast net a few years back.

So many bad asses in here

Bullfrogs on beetlespins.

Killed a coon with a machete on the porch.

Caught a dozen or so wounded deer and killed with a pocket knife.

Had a 3lb bass jump into my boat one day for no apparent reason. It was odd.

Once roped an emu(I don't advise trying this).

Had a spike run between the truck and trailer while going down the road once. I pulled over to check and he had loaded himself on the trailer. He was only about 1/3 dead, so I quickly tied his head to the 4wheeler with the loose end of a ratchet strap, stuck him in the lungs with my pocket knife, and let him bleed out while on the road to the house. It was pretty unusual.

Also killed a deer with a 6' t-post once.

Wen turkey hunting with my dad, and he decided to get the truck stuck 1.5 miles from the camp, so we walk back to the camp, I was carrying the shotgun. We reached the camp and he went to sleep inside and I fell asleep outside on the porch. I dreamt I heard a bird gobbling, but it wasn't a dream. There was railing around the porch so just my head was above it. A long beard steps out into the field behind the camp at 60 yds and sits down. I was all like no damn way. I called my dad and he answered and was pissed I had woken him up. There happened to be an old door that was behind the chair I was in. Some how he managed to get it open and in one motion I grabbed the gun stood up and shot the turkey. I was in my socks. He had 12 in beard and 1 1/2 in spurs

So I guess 4x4 F350 high centering grouse in N canada would count? We were catching redfish cast after cast out of fourchon and a padnah thru a cast net - 5 lb red ;)
Boat electrofishing one time we got a beaver ... he wasnt very happy when he came to

In JR high I shot a blue jay with a blow gun my dad bought from the sportsman show in NOLA. It was absolute luck b/c I was never able to shoot another one. Also shot one of those big bumble bees with a b.b. gun while it hovered in mid air. Pure luck again. That's all I got.

Killed an armadillo with my boat paddle while it was swimming in the lake one night

I caught a beaver while fishing the Etowah river for Striper. It was dark, and we were fishing some rapids. I thought I was hauling in a monster, and when it got up to the boat, my brother cut the line when he realized what it was.
