Craziest fishing moment 2016???

[23cardinal]

I took a friend fishing- and was showing him how to work a spinning reel. My lure in water bam fish. He tries- another Larry- bam. Fish were hungry

Reminds me of the time I took a friend fishing. He never fished before. Explained to him how to cast. He goes for it first cast ever. He lets go of the line way too early and the buzz bait goes straight up in the air. It lands right next to the boat and starts sinking.

He looks at me like wtf now? I say close the bail and reel it in to try again haha...as he reels it in the rod bends over and I say oh great you let it sink and got caught on the bottom. Then I see it bobbing...ended up catching a bass just under 3lbs! On the guys first cast EVER and the worst cast EVER hahaha.

I was in the Piscataway area fishing a pond that produces well using plastics. I feel a bite, set the hook, and think I missed and snagged a stick. This is what was on the end of my line.

Well... I assume the fish that I catch have resentment and feel embarrassed... Any fish I release gets told that they need to fight like a real fish and to come back when he can man up... lol

Crazy time this year when I started fishing the Hudson for the first time because its right there and still learnin the ropes. This guy who was filling me in decided to thrown his bait LITERALLY next to mine and about 15 minutes later he hooked into a 50+lb Sturgeon. First one i've seen in person and it was nuts! I knew they were there but didn't know they could get that big anymore! We spent 10 minutes balancing on rocks over the wall trying to get the fish off without taking it out of the water because a fish and game ranger said to us that he was going to fine the guy if it didn't swim away. We got her off and I waded her into about 4 foot of water to massage her back... still can't get the Hudson stink off those waders...

Dang you got to see the legendary sturgeon, very lucky! I wonder what bait that was, going to guess fresh clams.
