Since we kinda hit catching weird things....

When I was a teenager in high school, a couple of us had small boats that we kept down at the Pt Defiance Boathouse and after school we would rush down and get a couple hours of fishing in trolling plugs on a meatline.  One day, my meatline litterally doubled over.  At this point, I am thinking HOLY SH*T- 30# plus fish.  Just as quickly as the rod doubled, there was also no action.  So I knew it wasn't a fish.    With a struggle, I managed to get all the line back in to the weight.  Wrapped around the weight was litterally a ton a fishing line.  Once I got this mess untangled, it was time to bring the plug in.  As the plug came closer, I notice a large shape in the water...
I managed to snag an entire downrigger (with weight), a 5 gallon bucket, along with a few old spoons and plugs, and more fishing lines- complete mooching rigs.
