I caught a soft shelled turtle that was about 18 inches accross in the Mississippi river on pool 4 while fishing a wing dam. I got him in the foot, so it felt like something was pulling on the line, but it was pretty hard to bring in with the current and his shape. He was really angry to say the least.
Crayfish are a popular catch while fishing in Saskatchewan or Lake Of The Woods, one time I put one on my buddy's shoulder, and the crayfish immediately clamped onto his earlobe.
I have caught rods, anchors, lotsa tangled messes of line, safeway bags (one was full of crap?) and a shoe. I also caught a pretty big rock at Devil's Lake in North Dakota. It was about a pound and a half and took a while to bring in.
