last night i could have sworn that i was pulling a walleye out of my favorite bass hole . had a few hit my offerings there before but haven't landed one yet .
on first cast into the hole a slight tug then , wham ! the reel started screaming .that's no bass i thought , for sure a marble eye , untill the net came up with a 18" brown trout . man that took me by surprise !
of course my lifetime surprise fish was a stergon as a kid , my dad thought i had a pike or a big cat on , untill it started to pull the canoe out into the lake , surfaced one time and scared the stew outta me and dad , it was almost as long as the canoe itself .
whats your surprise fish story ?

well, my story is kinda different. I was using a plastic worm fishing for bass. and i hooked something. when i was bringing it up, it was just dead weight. I saw color and it just looked like a styrofoam cup, but then i brought it out of the water, and it started kicking. It was weird!

I was catfishig once and though that I hooked something. My reel was screaming for about 5 seconds and then stopped. I did a gentle tug on the pole and thought the fish had gotten off. About a half hour later I decided to check my bait and felt some more resistance. There was a baby 4lb cat on the other end of the line.

Ha ha TubeN2, that's happened to me several times as well! Only the culprits were small mudcats, not anything with any size. Sometimes they like to tease ya!
