When fishing at loch raven last week I watched as a goose landed in a tree. This week at Prettyboy we saw a albino catfish. It made me think of the strange and funny things I have seen over the years on the water and at the boat ramp. A friend told me about a man at Loch Raven ready to launch with his boat full of crab traps. I thought it would be great to hear your strange and or funny ( family friendly of course) Fish Tales.

A few years ago up in hoffmansville we had a hot air ballon come down and start a 3-5 min convo with us it then went back ...I think that qualifies as strange.

Many years ago.... At the Liberty boat ramp..i saw a van with no-one in it.... which was parked up on the hill.... drift down along the guard-rail, when it reached the bottom it had picked up enough momentum that it went over the bottom guard rail on the opposite side near the trash cans and into the water in the small cove like area next to the ramp... Luckily there was no-one hurt or in the way....The van was in water up to the seats..I can't imagine what the owner thought when he returned from his walk in the woods.. to find his van in the water...

I was fishing on liberty up

Permalink Submitted by David.Kirk on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 17:27.

I was fishing on liberty up in Cold Saturday one spring day around 1990... I heard a gas motor and thought it was the DNR or Watershed Police.... when i finally realized the sound was coming from the air.. my fishin buddy said.. look at that... it was 1 man helicopter similar to the one in the movie MAD MAX... we watched as it flew ovet the trees towards the 140 bridge... just as it got out of sight we heard the motor start to miss fire... The next day on the local news we heard that the one man helicopter had crashed .... :(

Was fishing a Metro

Permalink Submitted by MikeKrahl on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 19:09.

Was fishing a Metro tournament at Loch Raven. Just past the Dulaney bridge on that flat on the right side heard something walking down through the woods. Looked up and a Deer walked down to the shoreline, into the water, laid down into the water, rolled on to its left side, then the right. Put its head under and never came up. Went in for a closer look and its intestines were hanging out of its belly. Car hit it or something shot it. Couldn't tell. Really strange.

Just about a month ago, I was fishing Prettyboy up north and pulled up to my tournament partner's boat to see if he was catching anything. Next thing you know here comes this deer down through the woods and into the water. It started to swim, turned around, tried to get back on the bank and we noticed it was either sick or had been shot....it turned around again heading for deeper water, made a few grunting noises and then died....Went over for a closer look and noticed the deer had mange real bad all over it's body and head. After doing some research on the internet, found out the mange can get so bad that it infects the brain. I have seen plenty of deer swimming at the reservoirs but never anything like that! It literally comitted suicide in front of us.
