2. buy field phone
3.????
4. Profit

I guess the real question is did they catch anything... lol

LOL

Nope

My Friend that owns part of the land on that bank said they came back a couple of weeks later after screwing innertubes to the boat...

Wish I would have been there for that one too...
He said it was priceless...

The wife and I saw a young couple engaging in intercourse below the Mississinewa dam in the middle of the night with dozens of of people (walleye run time) within just yards of them.

My daughter did this a few weeks ago. Never seen anything like it.

Its a little hard to tell, but the hook threaded the eye TWICE and somehow is sitting facing the wrong direction. Little fella didn't make it.

We were at a small pond on private property, camping, having a few brews and cat fishing at night. We had a few jugs out (i know, i don't do this anymore). The bank we were camping on was a very steep and sandy. two or three feet out and you were chest deep. a friend of mine was getting in the flat bottom boat to check a few jugs, i was waiting on him when. he got in the boat, fell in the water and climbed back in over the side of the boat. I saw the entire thing. but to all our surprise, he was only wet from his waist up.....i can't explain it to this day...truly one of the strangest things i have ever seen on a fishing trip...

Nothing new? I know people have been out fishing - somebody has to have seen something strange. (And I need something to read at work, I already read similar threads on ifish and thehighroad.)

Giant human-looking footprints in the mud by the edge of a lake. I was in Scouts as a kid and our Troop went to a lake in Illinois (if I'm remembering it correctly) and some of us were down by the lake and saw this. Pretty creepy since the footprints were probably close to 18" long.

what year was this? if it was the early 90's, you could have seen will perdue footprints; that guy wore like a size 21 shoe.

My buddy Russ and I were skipping class while attending Vincennes and fishing for trout in the Sulliven strip pits. Out of the blue it started pouring down rain no big deal since we were 8 beers into a 12 pack. Rain stopped and a huge rainbow came out , we were like man thats awesome. Next a giant and I mean giant 10 point walks down the water and swam across the pit. Got out on the other side

So we have a big buck swimming across this pond with a rainbow over him -- No it wasnt the beer .. .it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen . We caught our limit to top things off

This would have been 1985-87ish. I just Google-fu'd for Illinois lakes and it was at this one:

Last Fri night me and some buddies were going bowfishing launching boat out of dogtown, and while we were about to back ours in a guy pulled his truck back and stopped to go clear a log out of the way. His trailor was about 2 feet into water and his girlfriend (who obviously had not been drinking) thought she was supposed to put it in the trailer....she came flying up and smashed right into the trailer. That front of that boat bucked up a few feet in the air, and we all thought the two were gonna have a fist fight. We all had a good laugh.

When I was about 11 or 12, my family was staying in a cottage on Pretty Lake ( the one with the tobaggon slide). My uncle Mark went out fishing for awhile and when he comes back he has this real weird look on his face. Finally he says he has to tell someone. He was drinking a few beers in the boat out of those short brown bottles they had back then.1980 or 81. I think it was like Blatz or Schlitz or something like that. Well after awhile nature called. So he took care of business in an empty bottle.He sat this aside.There were other people fishing nearby so he was gonna wait to pour it out. So he's fishing and after awhile he forgets about the "bottle". he reaches over for his actual beer and takes a sip.Well it was the wrong bottle! We really thought that was funny!

My grandpa used to keep a CLEAR soda bottle in the boat for just that reason...

Had an ex-girlfriend that was at a family gathering, and was a Dr. Pepper addict, well, her dad had happened to use an empty Dr. Pepper bottle as a spit cup for his chew... We all know what happens next...

Several years ago we were on a charter smallmouth fishing trip in Lake Erie across the line in Canada. We were anchored on a rock pile and the smallmouth were everywhere. 7 guys in the boat and we had 3-4 bass on at the same time on multiple occasions. We were fishing with soft craws so you used a leader attached to a snap swivel, One of the guys has a bass open his snap and he losses the fish. A few seconds later another guy has a bass on, gets it in the boat and sees that his hook had snagged the loop in the leader of the other guys fish that he had just lost. I can only imagine how thick the bass must have been. We lost count but we caught well over 100 smallies in a matter of a couple hours.

When I was 7 or 8 I was fishing off of the docks at geist and was patiently watching my bobber go under quickly and then pop back up. I watched at waited for a few minutes and finally gave up and set the hook the next time I saw the bobber move.

I swear it was the best fighting fish of my life, it doubled over my rod and was great fun to fight.

Turns out it was a VERY large bikini top...someone was either VERY gifted...or VERY large! Still makes me laugh thinking about it!
