Every once in a while you get some action on swimbaits, but not from the target species. Some of my catches include:

* Catfish (MS Slammer, wide open deadstick bite)
* Bluegill (also MS Slammer, they must think the hooks are worms)
* Crappie (5" chartreuse big hammer. Crappie LOVE chartruese grubs)
* 7lb trout (BBZ fast sink, at night)
* 2+lb redtail perch (9 inch wood striper plug, at night)
* Lots of carp (always snagged by accident)
* Two Canadian geese at the same time (should have rethought that cast)
* Owl (well, almost. Not on a rat lure)

Anyone else get some weird ones?

Dang it Matt, you beat me to it:)! LOL

Caught this beast at Lake Jennings; slow rollin' the Hudd ROF12. I got "bit" about three or four times before hooking it. My theory is that I was running my Hudd through a school of them, bumping into them; before I finally snagged this guy. LOL

Also, a couple times while bank fishing at Muray; I had Ospreys carry away my baits. I'm casting a Hudd ROF5 and as the baits flying through the air; I'm looking around while thumbing the spool. The SECOND the bait touches down; I hear a huge splash. Naturally I'm thinkin' it's a bass that just crushed my bait as it hit the water. So I set the hook and the rod loads up; and here's this big Osprey coming out of the water. Thank God I don't use trailer hooks. LOL Thing raised up about 20' and just dropped the bait.

The other time, I was waking a 3:16 10 1/2" Wake Bait; you know the cheap baits:)! LOL I turn my head for one second and here comes this Osprey and it grabs my bait and starts to fly off with it. All I can think is what am I gonna do now!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm watching it fly away, I'm tryng to shake my bait loose, it's still flying further away; and finally it drops it. That's a $150 bait!!! LOL That would have sucked if it would have broke me off.


Other than that, nothing special. I'm really surprised, as much as I fish Hudds; that I haven't caught a catfish yet. Everyone else has it's seems. LOL

I've caught a lot of stuff with other baits though.

I caught this giant squid while throwing a slammer at Casitas.
It bit in about 300ft and took me a long time to reel in :+
