charliewag   18 #1 Posted February 24, 2014 i've hooked some weird objects during my many years of fishing and i added another to the list yesterday, an almost intact fish skeleton 12-14 inches long! i was on a pike session and with nothing happening on deadbaits i went for a wander armed with a few lures. retrieving a plug along the bottom i felt it catch on something which i thought may be a sunken twig. when i lifted it out the treble had actually caught in the mouth of the skeleton.

charliewag   18 #5 Posted February 25, 2014 i was fishing a wreck off whitby and one of our party was bringing his breakfast up over the side and he lost his false teeth in the process. i took mine out, put them on on my hook and shouted 'hey bert, are these yours?'. bert put them in his mouth and said 'no, not mine' and gave me them back. a while later i hooked a big cod and told the skipper i was looking forward to eating a fillet or two with some chips. he replied 'you can't take that one, look at the smile it's giving you'. it had bert's teeth in it's mouth!

CAGlover   10 #11 Posted February 26, 2014 Fishing the trent once n old fellow above me did the same, coughed n his false teeth flew out. Comic below waited 5 mins then put his own false teeth on line and shouted up to other guy "look what I've just caught". Looking surprised the lad upstream wandered down past me to him and said let's have a look. Sticks them in his mouth, took em out "nah not mine mate, they're too big" then slung them in the river.
