What's your coolest fishing story?
I lived in Sitka, Alaska, I was out fishing for Halibut, I got a tug on the line, I set the hook, it took off, I slowed it up and started to reel it in, I got it to the surface, it took off again, that happened a number of times, it took me about 45 min.s to bring it in from first tug to land it, it was too big to pull it on the boat, I had to slowly tow it to land, gaff it, and drag it to land. I didn't weight it, but it had to weight at least 150 lbs. Now that was fun!
I was visiting my family in Ky. and my brother and I had been doing a lot of pond and river fishing, but on this particular day we went squirrel hunting on my sisters farm. We only saw maybe 2 squirrels and neither of us had any success. On the way out we passed a small pond and both just looked at each other, then I said I'm game if you are. We had some chicken liver, left over from river fishing the night before, and he had a tackle box. We did not have all the poles, so I ended up using 1 decent but cheap zebco and one of his daughters poles ( I think it was a snoopy pole) one of those 2 footers. He tied on some lures and started off around the lake, while I hooked up for catfish. He wasn't even halfway around the pond when I got a huge bite on the snoopy pole. I hooked it but the plastic geared reel couldn't begging to bring it in. I was hollering for him to come help, but he was laughing too hard. I ended up grabbing the line and running back up the bank until I dragged out about an 8 lb catfish, this continued for a while and I had 4 6-8 pounders on the stringer by the time he got around the lake. He wasn't laughing when he took off his lure and said give me some of that chicken liver (I was).
We had a heck of a catfish fry that night!
I don't think my sister even knew that there were fish in that pond, as they had never fished it, strange but true!
