Spinoff of the fishing thread...funny fish stories

[AllieK]

I know there is bound to be some funny fish stories that go along with fishing. What's your funniest fish story?

Mine isn't exactly mine, but was told to me by my son. My dh and ds went on a offshore party boat one day. They always take their own squid because what the boat has is usually old and falls off the hook easily. They had some whole squid (about 4-6 in. long) and my ds was baiting his hook and he set a couple of squid on the bench beside him (I know...yuck). Before he could react, a heavy-set lady in stretch pants sat down right beside him...right on top of the squid. My ds is shy, so he didn't say anything. When the lady got up the squid was gone. Ummm, it was kind of stuck and part of it was hanging out. My ds didn't know what to do and in typical male fashion, he just moved around to the other side of the boat. He always wondered what happened....if someone told her that she had squid hanging out of her crack, or she just lost it somewhere.

The first time my DD went fishing was priceless!! My older brother took her out when she was 4yrs. She was decked out in vest, old fishing hat and a Barbie fishing pole. He casted out for her and handed her the pole. He was getting my 2yr DS pole ready when she got a hit. Her eyes bugged out and Don showed her how to turn the reel. She is reeling and reeling and this fish was giving her little hands a fight. She screamed Uncle Donny it is a shark!!! She gets it close to boat and Don lifts the line. She has a 5" perch. she says I told you! He gets it off the hook ad tells her she has to kiss her first catch. She puckered up and kissed the fish smack on the lips. I hated I forgot camcorder but the pics I got are the greatest!!

Years ago, when I didn't have a fishing license and my husband had a double-sticker one, he asked me to hold his pole while he baited the second one. I did, and wouldn't you know it, IMMEDIATELY a ranger and new hire or intern maybe, materialized and gave me a ticket for fishing without a license. We told him I wasn't fishing and only held the pole for a minute while the other was being readied; he was an ***hole showing off to his new hire I guess and said it didn't matter, I held the pole and that's all it took. Ended up paying a $50 fine because it was easier than fighting it out in court.

I was about 5 and my Mom, Dad, aunt, uncle, cousins and I all went fishing along the banks of the Ohio River. I remember this like it was yesterday. My devilish oldest cousin told me the reason the dirt along the river look so black is because it was actually brownie dough (hey I was 5 and gullible). I said "Nahhhhhh" He said "Taste it, then you'll believe me" and pretended to taste. Ok....that was all I needed to take a big bite...started spitting and crying...told on him of course. Yuk, yuk, yuk...mean kid! lol

Just the week of August 17th went fishing in the upper peninsula of Michigan.. No sooner would I throw out my line than I'd be reeling in a fish. Well this one time this fish(or so I thought) was giving me a heck of a time I was gonna be proud of this one. I reeled it closer to the dock and could not believe my eyes. I had a snapping turtle on the line. It was about 12 inches around. My husband started yelling don't reel it in anymore walk with it on the line up to the shore. So I did. This thing was hissing and hissing. I yelled back to my husband take this thing off. Somehow he got that turtle off. It wasn't funny at the time, but looking back on it it was pretty funny
