Way Back Wednesdays: Your Craziest Swimbait Catch? Mines a 12............Gauge

Written By Bill Siemantel

OK, Here is a cool Way Back Wednesday swimbait catch. Back in the day while shore fishing Castaic Lower Lake I was slow rolling a big boot tail swimbait across the bottom when I got my bait stuck. With my 25# Maxima Fishing Line I started to just pull as hard as I could to get my lure back. To my surprise I got more than I bargained for. Up out of the water wrapped in a plastic bag was a sawed off shotgun that was ditched after a crime to be recovered at a later date. I have caught beer cans, shoes, paper bags, fishing rods, snorkeling equipment and even a prosthetic arm but a 12 gauge shotgun tops it off. What's your best catch with a swimbait?
