A bat while I was nightfishing. It had the line wrapped around it necks like a noose. I also had a nice fish on at the same time. During the course of events, I did not realize that it was a bat on my line. I thought it might be weeds. I reeled it up to the rod tip and grabbed it. It felt squishy in my hands and I finally got my headlamp on it and saw what it was. We were fishing for mondo walleyes and the fish felt nice, so I ended up squeezing its neck and popping its head off to free it from the line. After all that nastiness I picked up the slack and fish was gone. Still makes for a nice story. I washed my hands extra well after that incident.
Haha great scott! Whata story Matt.
 
at busse back in college caught a duck on rapala.... reeling it in and turned to talk to my buddy and next thing i know my line is flying out..thought i had something big but then realized my line was going up.... this duck starting flying with my fav lure....craziest thing... i let the line free spool as he came back down and he shook it loose.. so glad i was just about to cut it- did not want to kill it....
 
Thought I was snagged then had on the bass of the trip.

I pulled up and it sank back slowly.
Fought wierd but kept pulling line vs my drag.

It went on for a while..

Finally at the net i saw a softball sized rock with my jig wedged inside.
I think it was loose, my jig stopped fast and i new i had a fish but he didn't move.
Man did i catch crap from my buddies!

:roll:
