Weird Catches
Message:
I noticed there wasn't a thread for weird catches in lakes so figured I would go ahead and create one. A few years ago on lake Quassapaug in Middlebury I caught a mussel on a spinner bait, closed the shell right on my hook, the strangest thing I ever caught by far. More recently I caught a massive snapping turtle on bloody catfish dough and it broke my snap swivel, the rod snapped back in my face and cracked my sunglasses. Dragging that thing in was brutal, I thought I had snagged a branch after a catfish picked up and dropped my bait. Nope, a turtle ate the bate and hooked himself in the side of his mouth. He was hissing and quite angry, I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. Please share your stories and photos of weird catches while lake fishing. Thanks!

I've caught crabs, freshwater mussels, and almost hooked a few birds but my "weirdest" which isn't really weird just pretty lucky is I caught a real nice anchor once with my own anchor. I've also snagged some line and pulled in some lures. I guess I am more lucky than weird!

I've caught snapping turtles and painter turtles while going for catfish.
I once caught a crayfish on a small Rapala.
