Thought I'd start a thread in this forum since it was posted in the freshwater section and knew some salties don't visit that side. Kudos to carpanglerdude for starting it!
This is the freshwater thread...
http://fishingnetwork.net/forum4/showthread.php?71445-What-s-the-strangest-thing-you-ve-seen-while-fishing.
This was my contribution...
Here's one I doubt will, or should, be duplicated...
I'm on a 7 day trip on the Royal Polaris. After a 20-30 min. fight, I bring in a 60-70lb. tuna. Deckhand gaffs it, throws it on board and I take a deep breathe just as he's whacking it on the head with a bat to subdue it cuz it's going nuts. I feel something hit the back of my throat and go down. Half choking, we look down and see that the eye of the tuna got popped out...and went down my hatch!
Same trip, two hours later...
I'm taking a breather and sitting on the benches that they have between the bait tank and galley. A friend walks by, see's me, let's out a roar and slams me in the nuts with the butt of his rod. The guy next to me yells, "Dennis, what the *&^% are you doing?", as I lay in fetal position on the ground. Dennis is cracking up and says, "Oh *&^%! I only meant to scare him." The whole boat starts busting up while I lay on the ground.
Weird (and painful) day on the water, but at least we scored HUGE on the tuna that trip. :Wink:
Sorry not exactly freshwater fishing story, but thought you guys might get a kick outta it.:Nut Kick:
