Strangest thing's you've came across while fishing?

[SKVMS]

Being in Nevada on the foothills of the sierras is a wide open playground for a ton of natural wild life (deer, elk, mountain goats, cougars, bears, snake , wild mustangs etc...) and with that comes a lot of floaters ( above picture is at Frenchmans lake in chilicoot, Ca) everything from rattle snakes, loons, jackrabbits, even a dead and dehydrated mustang who was 10ft away from the waterline. Nevada is predominantly a trout state with a handful of exceptions but regardless 80% of my weekly bassin' is done at night, jumping fences into private communities, golf courses, farm and ranch ponds. Most of the private communities are high end ( $500,000-$2,000,000 and beyond price tags ) and the freaks DEFINITELY come out at night, I've seen and heard countless couples knocking boots and even a dude blasting porn at full volume punishing his genitalia. Out side of the freaky side I've caught a few hats and a graduation cap from 2015 with the tassel still attached. Besides the hats I've drug up a ton of broke off lures and hooks with split shot but the "strangest" thing I've drug up was a 3 lb steel rake head ( pissed off grounds keeper? ) Earlier this year I was fishing a golf course near the 16th hole which is an island and the pitching green ( I know nothing about golfing so I'm talking about where you start off at each hole) sits high above the island, so you try and make it onto the island then drive down this little road and cross a bridge to get onto the island. I had been fishing for about an hour and had landed a few 2lbers on a rat-l-trap but the bite was off in that section so I moved about a 1/4 mile away from the island and started tossing off this rocky ledge and I hear what sounds like a group of rowdy drunk guys so I turn to the direction of the noise to see two golf carts racing down the little road, the cart in the lead hit a turn a lil to tight and flips over down a steep drop throwing the passenger out and pinning the driver the following cart skids to a stop and 4 goons jump out and lift the cart off their buddy who immediately jumps up and starts screaming " I TOLD YOU I DIDNT WANT TO F#

[SKVMS]

KIN' RACE!! NOW MY ARM IS BROKE YOU AZZHOLES!!!" I just kept fishing and they flipped the cart back onto the trail and took off to take the dude to the hospital I assume. I've got a ton more story's involving kooks and creeps and even more from my childhood fishing with my dad and his drunk friends but if I continue it's gonna turn into a book so I'll save em for a later date.

I was fishing my way across a pond with my freind throwing frogs up in the slop by the tules and we get around a point where the creek comes in where there is some willow trees we would skip under and there was this hot ass girl out naked sun batheing and my buddie and me were in float tubes trespassing on the 50 acre pond where all the houses back up to she never knew we were there probaly a good things ended up i found out it was this chick I worked with who lived there along with her family and her brother who also worked with me worst part they never let me launch off there property but the funny part is the best fishing spot is right behind there house so i would always be posted there sticking them behind there house once i gained acces from the dude who runs the hoa

[BrhodesBassin]

I posted this on the universe too but for those of you who haven't seen it I saw this leaving a pond by the house the other morning. Crazy part is there is only one road in and out and I didn' see it going in

[thebeardedbassman]

i was fishing early may out in the woods,. shootin the ish with some guys out there.  so one guy ask his buddy  for the keys to go back to the truck to make a phone call. at least an hour passes by we figured that he fell asleep. thought nothing of it. we walk back to the parking spots,. his truck isnt there.  his buddy who was hammed up stole his truck and isnt answering his phone. i had to let this guy use my phone cuz his phone died. gave him a  ride to some bar down town while he waited for his wife. 
the guy got his truck back, it took the drunk idiot 4 hours to drive the half hour back to the guys house.

i was night fishing out on the yak, it was a partly cloudy night. i kept seeing flashes  on the sky.  thinking it was the  school or fair, heard some loud event going on through the woods. that ended but still kept seeing flashes.  thinking it maybe a thunder storm rolling through.  HATE thunderstorms while fishing. (another long story of commercial fishing). the closest one was 60 miles SE.  i was seeing the thunder heads  of that storm. i could watch the storm roll through. it was pretty friggin cool.

Not near as crazy as what some others have experienced but I was bank fishing a lake here in Texas and there was a sailboat anchored up in a cove about 50 yards off the bank and when I got around in front of it there was a naked man and woman on the boat and they really didn’t seem to care I could see them lol. Once I was fishing a river in January and it was extremely foggy and I was wading and a pack of 4 BIG whitetail bucks crossed the river about 40 yards from me. That was pretty cool. There’s a certain brackish bayou I like to fish as well and I’ve had a fair share of big alligators pop up within feet of me but they just seem curious more than anything but still makes you uneasy

Once fishing with a guide in Lake Kissimmee, we had another boat approaching us. From a distance we could make out that a long blonde haired woman with an enormous rack was running the trolling motor. Our guide said “ watch this, they’re coming over here, that’s a fishing guide”.

As the boat got close, the chick yelled out to our guide. Sounded like Hulk Hogan with female accoutrements. The chick fishing guide was a drag queen.  This was over 15 yrs ago and was still quite an unusual site on a bass trip!!

I was sturgeon fishing in the river up here on my kayak when I got thumped pretty good by something floating in the water. Expecting some drifting tree (pretty common up here), I turn to see.... a dead cow. There was a farm upriver where I had seen a few cows earlier, and I guess one got a little too close to the edge.

Last year while fishing offshore for cod, we found a dead, bloated raccoon. We were fishing a spot about 25 miles south of Cape Cod, roughly 130 feet of water. Saw something floating in the water about 250 feet off the boat, so we motored over to take a look. Low and behold, it's a dead raccoon. We endearingly refer to that spot as "Raccoon Hole" after catching a few keeper cod there. 

 

How a dead raccoon drifts 25 miles offshore, almost completely untouched is beyond me. Bizarre.

my boyfriend wiped his ass one day with a wawa bag because no toilet paper,,,, two days later his friend was fishing and caught the bag and made snapchat video of how he hates it when people litter..... he had no clue. LOL 

side note: my boyfriend absolutely hates littering and he is always the one cleaning up everyone's trash, this is the only time I have ever heard say or seen of him littering. He absolutely does not condone it, but understandably...this was the best option with the circumstance.

A tied off condom that sadly my owner treble popped that’s all I’m going to say

Me n my brother were tubing a year ago, saw something floating maybe 70 yards away from me, maybe 30 yards from shore. I almost paddled over there to fish but a boat was approaching that area. 

Soon cop cars, ambulance and fire truck came. It was a dead body. The guy drowned few days ago and finally floated up that morning or night before
