Just seeing what others on here have caught that have been out of the ordinary?
Iv caught things from sea cucumbers to computer mouses..

Does a rock count???  Unsure how it happened - was float fishing - set the float a little to deep - it got caught on the bottom and somehow the hook (barbless) caught the rock in a little cranny - thought I had picked up a stick as I could feel some drag - but no real 'fishy' resistance - pulled out a 2 pound 'wild' rock. 

I gently released it... 

Bought a lotto ticket that night... I still have to work..

Many years ago when I was young, I went pike fishing and landed a duck!
The duck was foraging under water and striked at the spoon and was hooked solid inside of its bill.
No flossing or foul hooked here.

Where did you get that? Looks like a tropical fish of some sort that isn't doing well (colour looks quite washed out).

I've caught everything from bats to seagulls on the living part of the spectrum.
And everything from rocks to underwear on the non-living part of the spectrum.

As for weirdest things caught... once caught a coho without anything on the line (broke off ALL my gear) and brought a coho in that had somehow wrapped itself in my line completely.

I have also once caught the eye of a swivel that was attached to a leader line that was attached to a fish, and have a few times also caught floats that were attached to fish.

For me I would say seagull.

As for my grandpa he caught a dead body off vancover island, like 20 years ago.

Weirdest thing I've caught is a steelhead

I have caught little blue crawfish a couple times while fishing for salmon..

Caught a white hubcab (like one you would see on an 80's Sunbird or Pulsar)in the fraser river pink fishing from a boat on a croc.

It was quite a fight as the hub cap fluttered in the deep water and heavy current.  We had no idea what we had on, it put up a great fight as the current would catch it just right and pull line, rod throbbing downwards.  It was crazy.  We would 'gain on it' then it would pull line.  SO DISAPOINTING when it got to the surface.

It is a fine specimen of a scrawled cowfish - common in tropical waters.
I have caught quite a few of them in Venezuela back in the day. Down there they call it torito (little bull).

I'd venture to say you didn't catch it here. Florida, Mexico, maybe?

--I'm sure seagull is not uncommon on the coast... but while discussing catching a seagull on the coast we hooked up one on skaha lake.
--Had just remarked that a passing boat had caught and released several small kokanee and that seagulls were picking them up.

--Was using a UV flasher which I think is what the bird thought was a kokanee... as he picked it up the trailing....lucky for him single barbless hook got him in the leg... he was released unharmed.

Cool thanks for the ID. And yes, you are right, it was during my recent trip to Cuba. I donated it to the locals and they loved it  along with all the other fish (mostly perch) that I was catching.
