I once caught a 3lb LMB on a Wendys french fry. Ran out of shiners and didnt have any lures on me so I put on a huge fry, sent it out and it got nailed about 3 feet from shore.
Caught a huge Mayan Cichlid on a balled up piece of foil from a cigarette pack. |

No bait, just a hook.
Apparently scraps or fish were dumped in this certain area of the river and they hit whatever hit the water. |

night crawler or any bait sprayed with WD40
I don't remember where I heard/read that but it works, was early 90's when we started using it. so not an internet thing then caught 100's of crappie, bluegill, small mouth bass and catfish when we first started using the WD40 "bait mate" one of us would use it and the other would not, the one using it always caught MORE and BIGGER fish! still have a little can of it in my tackle box to this day |

If you can catch a wolf spider, superglue a lightweight hook on it's back and let run around the pond. They never last long and it is a hoot |

Caught a fish on a vibrax that got hooked into the eye of a swivel, that must have been snagged on a log. PNW fall fishing a river, thought I was snagged. All of a sudden I was playing a 15ib steelhead. While reeling in, I was like WTF my lure was like 15" from the fishes mouth. He must had been there awhile as he did not fight like a 15lb steelhead. Read about it happening to people, never thought it would happen to me. Should have bought a lottery ticket. Oh wait they were not around yet. Let the fish go..

Caught a 10 lb striper on chicken liver while reeling it in fishing for catfish.
When I was a kid, maybe 12 years old, parents dropped me off at the local lake to fish. Was going for big carp using a loaf of frozen bread dough mixed with jello powder and cheese powder from Mac n cheese. Caught a few. When it was about time to be picked up, for shits and giggles I balled up the remaining dough, a little larger than a softball sized chunk, formed it around a treble hook, opened my bail, and lobbed it into the spillway. 30 seconds later, my line takes off, was absolutely shocked and elated and fought a 20lb flathead in. Was my biggest fish ever at the time. Brought it home alive face down in a 5 gallon bucket, tail hanging out the top, and released it in the little pond down the street. Went back the next morning to try to spot this new pond monster. Found it right away alright. On top of the water. Exploded. Frozen bread dough expands an awful lot in the belly of a fish in 75 degree water. |

Bluegill on a chunk of dried mud. I was dropping little crumbs of mud in the water and they'd come shooting up to the surface to see what it was. Put a little j hook in a dirt clod and pulled a nice gill out.
