Who here has legitimately caught a fish with just their bare hands?

kinda spinoff from the other thread.
I've done it once. My family was staying in a cabin along the Salmon River in Idaho. My dad and brother were trout fishing, and since we only had 2 rods, and I was the youngest, I had to watch like a bitch. Anyways, I was catching garter snakes next to the river when I saw a rainbow trout just sitting in the shallows. I snuck up to it, gently placed my hands behind it, and slowly grabbed it. I don't think my dad ever really believed me when I showed the fish. He thought I stole it from my brother. Bastard.

I have tried with the gar fish at the house, but I can't do it. They are to slick, strong. I do like to poke them in the top of the head with my finger from time to time...

I canoe-camped the Buffalo River with my wife a few years ago for 5 days. Didn't catch one fish, until the last day.
In a rock bed, next to some train tracks, I saw a small puddle with a tiny fish swimming around.. I caught him.
Then I released him in the river.

When I was a kid, I tamed up the bream in my parents pond by feeding them old bread from the Hostess bakery store. I could hold my hand under the water and they would eat from my hand. I was even able to catch them with my hand and pick them up out of the water without having them freak out. Now, when a 5lb+ plus bass would come in and take out a few bream standing in line, it would give you a heart attack.
I know that ain't "real".

I caught a 40 pound logger head with my hands in the water. Does that count?

I've caught a couple hundred spotted cat with my bare hands.
I've also caught a couple hummingbirds.

I have, this one:
The diet coke bottel is there for comparison. I saw him swimming in shallow water and jumped in and tossed him on the bank.

First fish I ever caught was with my bare hands.
I was 2, maybe 3. We were fishing perch at the boat launch by my parrian's shop.
I was looking and saw one swimming close and I snuk up on it and just snagged em!
I still remember the look on my dad's face
I also caught a monster perch from Vortex Springs in Florida on my checkout dive. I just kinda crept up and grabbed him. Everyone tried but failed... not this guy. I threw him up on the dock and everyone cheered

Fish dying from insufficient oxygen.

I too have done this with a rainbow trout, but i think something was wrong with it because it put up little to no resistance until it got out of the water.

It's easy salmon fishing in shallow streams. You can damn near walk across the surface without getting your feet wet. Fish wall to wall.

I have. It was dying of old age. And I'm not even gonna say what it was because you'll call me a liar.

I barehanded a salmon in Ketchikan, Alaska in 2010. Right off the dock, saw a few swimming together and just reached in and grabbed him. Will post picture sometime,

I caught a flying fish with my foot.
Well, he landed on my foot, but I'm counting it.

Had one jump in the boat, a bass, in the Audubon Lagoon.
