I have had a few which seemed to have pellets for brains over the years:
A roach which snapped me when i was a kid. I carried on fishing and 2 hours later landed a huge roach of 1lb 15oz. It won the club's junior specimen award that year. In its mouth was my hook.
Innumerable perch which have taken ruined, manky maggots plopped into the water by my feet while i rest the rod to do something.
A significant number of rainbow trout on a holiday park in Devon which actually took BARE hooks.
But my prize for the stupidest fish I ever caught goes to a 7lb pike I caught on Grane Res. I hooked it first cast and played it for what seems like ages. As I was about to net it the hook pulled and it fell off. This pike turned round and took the manky fish AGAIN.
what was yours?
