was fishing bottome years back and caught a sunken pirogue. it needed a little cleaning, but was in great shape.

about 2 years ago fishing at last island. someone using a double rig must have hooked onto a trout and had their line popped. i was reeling in my line and my hook hooked onto the hook not stuck in a the trouts mouth, and i somehow managed to land the fish. turned out to be the only fish caught that day.

We were vacationing with a couple of families in a big beach house on Santa Rosa Island. I decided to surf fish early one morning. Saw the silhouette of a large ray moving around very slowly in the shallow surf. So I thought it might be fun to try to snag it. On the first cast, I hooked it and began fighting it! A friend who was with me immediately ran back to the house to call everyone out to see the big ray I was fighting. I had the monster in the breaking surf and was hanging on to it. But something didn't seem quite right about the fight. It was pulling as the surf broke, but I figured it would have taken off into the deep and drag all my line out. I kept pulling when I realized it was a large black garbage bag moving on the bottom surf. And just at that time, about ten of my friends were running up to see my catch. We laughed our butts off over that!

was fishing off the bait barge in Mission Bay (San Diego) catching barracuda top water using live anchovies with no sinker.

Anyway, hooked a nice one, and right about then a large brown pelican swooped down and scooped the whole fish in it's mouth (30" barracuda roughly).

As he took off and started to gain altitude I realized that I had a pelican hooked and he was pulling like a sonofabitch. Imagine a 13 y/o kid fighting a flying bird with a large fish in its throat.

My dad cut the line as I struggled to reel it in.



Pelicans were common around the bait barge and would normally scoop up anything you threw back (typically caught barracuda, mackeral, and flounder at that location) that didn't immediately swim away.

Bull whip, cinder block sized piece of coral, and snagged the swivel of a steel leader that was hooked in the mouth of about a 26" redfish

Pulled up bike frames and cash registers from the Audubon Park lagoon from the cross over bridge in the 60's with the largest treble we could find.

Speaking of trout line, was fishing late evening with my brother on False River and along several piers we stepped over some trout lines hanging above water and tied between piers. Pitch black and several hours later it's time to leave. No motor key. Look everywhere then trolling motor back about an hour find trout lines check each one and about another hour find the boat key on a hook.
