Pulled from water?

[Kent]

I have snagged and reeled in countless lures and a few rods and reels over the years. At Lake Powell, I snagged another line and pulled a rod and reel in with the live catfish still fighting on the end of the line. At Willard Bay, we stopped the boat to land a fish and my crank bait floated to the surface. A seagull swept down and grabbed it and the fight was on. I have also had seagulls grab my lure in mid-flight. I hooked a grebe one day after it dove and grabbed my jig. When I was a teenager, we came in for lunch at Palie Reservoir (near Manti) and my dad leaned his rod against the camper with a night crawler still on the hook. When we got done eating we found a robin had grabbed the night crawler and got itself hooked.
