A beaver, really. He swam into the leader and was hooked on the shoulder. Hell of a fight for a few seconds.....

I caught a buzz once, ok fine. I catch a buzz just about every time I go fishing.

I know you want fish species, but I just remembered a part of my Labor Day trip that was funny. I had hooked into a nice fish and was in the process of bringing it in when three Pelican's landed real close. I wasn't paying attention to them, but My sister in law yells at me that they are after my fish.
He was, and I had visions of this protected bird flying off with my fish and my fly still in it's mouth....what to do. Anyway, he got close to my fish so I started slpping the side of my pontoon to scare him off. I would reel a little more them start slapping the side of my boat again. Took forever to get this fish in, then the birds took off and I felt at ease to let this poor fish go. It was amusing after all was done.

Reel.... flail.... reel.... flail.... That does sound amusing Joni.

Kinda sounds like what I did the other night to keep a cottontail from running in front of my bike. My wife thought it was hilarious that I was barking at it like a dog. I don't know why she would think a 250lb guy on a road bike barking at a cute rodent was funny....

Anybody ever caught a duck or a seagull? I've come close to having my fly grabbed by them, but haven't yet.

Recently I was followed around the pond by a flock of turtles that really wanted my fly. Kinda strange - one by one they would pop up so that there was a turtle just about anywhere I could cast so I moved to a different section.

When I was a kid we had a pond FULL of turtles. I would sit on the banks for hours with my .22 waiting for the turtle heads ( ha ha) to popup. Great target practice.
