What are the weirdest things you've caught so far,while fishing ?

i once caught a cell phone. also i was fishing in central florida in peace river and caught a 4 pound bass and in the back of its throat was a tail sticking out, so i pulled it out, it was a 2 1/2 foot black snake.. i craped my pants, probably one of the most craziest things i have caught...

Not really weird, but I caught a Stingray. I was freaking out. I wanted to get the hook out without hurting it. I had to have my dad do it. I wouldn't fish there anymore that day since the water was full of stingrays. (this was after I swam with them, I view them as friendly and I didn't want to hurt one, I just wanted to catch fish for dinner).

On my latest trip to Pensacola memorial day weekend, I caught some stingrays, an eel, a great buzz, a walmart bag, and one hell of a sunburn but no dinner

A pelican, a turtle, a sawfish, an eagle ray... that's about it that is strange. I had a day when we caught 17 different species. That was a fun day.

small about 4 feet in the mouth of the Caloosahatchee river while tarpon fishing at night. It ate a catfish tail and didn't put up much of a fight. Once in a lifetime strange fish and no camera.
