I would bet that alot of us have caught swivels in the eye with fish attached, i know i have had it happen more than once. also hooked ducks, my friend, myself, a vehicle once and a pawn chair. im sure there is more but thats what i can remember right now.

the vehicle was while BBing and i hadnt realized the truck that pulled up behind us was so f***ing close when i flipped my leader back i tossed it directly into the drivers side window HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  ::)

I was talking to a guy last year during steelhead season. He somehow entangled with a seagull during a cast. The seagull dropped the line after a bit of struggling and he continued with the drift. Guess what? He caught the second largest steelhead for the derby he was in that day....a 15lber

Where do I purchase one of these seagull floats? Talk about drag free

My 5 year old son hooked my dog in the upper lip.  Thankful for barbless hook and having forceps on hand.

Ok this is not my story but quite amazing. So my friend was fishing this year near the pink apartments and goes for a swim and ends up losing his spinning rod.
A few weeks later he is back on the boat, another friend of his is trolling in his own boat and hooks into a spring.
My friend pulls up to video the battle, and as the downrigger comes up lo and behold, there is his spinning rod!! Call it luck call it skill I don't know!!

Also while fishing the stamp last year I hook into a steelhead. Get him to the boat and what have I hooked? A hook and gooey bob that was broken off in his mouth

An Oyster in a small lower mainland river

Also Salmonella last summer does that count

Are you sure an Oyster and not a freshwater Mussel?
I have caught a few Freshwater Mussels but an Oyster would certainly be odd.
They must be laying there with shell open and then clamp down when the line or hook runs through them.
Id hate to think they were actually chomping on my bait. :o

There is a couple of lower mainland flows that have an oyster population in the tidal portions where they spill into the chuck. (technically the freshwater portion but very much salt)

Always managed to hook into diving birds when I lived in Costa Rica.  I also managed to hook a sea snake...scared the hell out of me because they are poisonous.

In BC, a sea cucumber off Saltspring because I was trolling too deep and a small octopus off Gabriola...must of hooked it...trolling too deep again!

Caught an oyster myself on the Nicomekl river.I hooked it with a croc spoon right where the 2 shells come togetherr.The boat launch by the farm used to be an oyster farm ,its tidal until it crosses KGH. :-*

My son hooked me in the calf with a treble hook when he was 5 as well,a real stinger,not sure why we were using treble hooks with small children. ???

Actually the tidal boundary is the BNSF railway bridge.
