What are the weirdest things you've caught while fishing ?

This Spring I caught a 10" wild brown trout with the ring of a condom
wrapped around its "neck" area. Wore a nasty gouge on top and in the
throat area. Not really recognizing what it was at first I hurriedly
removed it, inspected and dropped it. I did get photos of the damage
caused, but wish I'd taken a photo before removing it.

Save the jokes, I've heard them all from flyfishing friends......

Are you sure that wasn't a Trouser Trout ?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Not all

It seams you have caught a cross between a brown trout and an Alabama
white trout, I never knew they were in the same waters, and even if they
were, I didn't think they would/could cross breed.

The Alabama white trout is common around lakes where they have nightly
submarine races, they seam to hang around the beach areas after each
race, they can readily be caught with top water lures around these areas
early in the mornings after a race the night before. They are always
C&R, they can reach up to 12 inches in length, but have no fight in
them, and fishermen try to avoid hooking them.
