Alright, crazy fishing story with proof. I wouldn't believe this story either so I don't blame you guys.
Last night was out catfishing with the wife and a coworker when I get what looks to be a hit on my rod, so I start fighting a big fish, same time a paddlefish starts jumping. Well I get to my hook to find I hooked another hook with line still going to the water. I set my rod down and started pulling the line in by hand, and there was something heavy on the other end, after a few minutes of hand lining I see the paddlefish with a kids fishing pole wrapped around it. I got him up to the rocks where he finally snapped the line on the kids pole.
I'm left just laughing, holding a kids rod and looking into the river wondering how that just happened.
Oh, if you ever have a chance to hand line a paddlefish. Pass. It's not easy lol
