    Head out for Muskie and...catch a human instead...

    ...thought they had a monster fish pulling their lines out until they looked down.

    I literally almost had a heart attack,” said Klein.

    A hand broke the surface of the water.

    I didn’t know what to do -- if I should shake it, or what,” said Mechtel.

    The closest I came to this, was out at Chatfield in my boat trolling. I hooked a F-cking Jet skiier that was following to close. He crossed my line I didn't know it, I see my rod bouncing I set the hook. And I got him right in the ASS!! I felt bad at first, but then I laughed my butt off!!

    Back in high school we spent a week fishing on the Grand Mesa. While fishing one mornig we noticed a line of bubbles out in the middle of the lake. Everyone wondered what it was and called for dad to try and hook it. Dad wound up and made one of those Herculean casts that awed us. Lure he was using dropped about 10' beyond the bubbles and just ahead of them. He had lead it perfectly. When the lure bumped the object dad jerked and gave it a good set and started reeling it in. About 15 seconds later a scuba diver surfaced and worked the lure loose from his shoulder, held it up and kinda waved before he dropped it in the water and swam away. We all laughed(but not Dad), thinking the scuba diver was stupid for diving in such a heavily fished lake. Dad didn't think it was funny, huffed that he should have known better, that somebody could have been hurt and stomped off mad and embarrassed. We didn't see him till after lunch.

    I still laugh about it whenever I think of it. Nobody ever imagined those bubbles were made by a person while we were yelling for Dad to catch it.

    I go out Aurora often and on the north east side of the lake they have the scuba area and I always see those bubbles out side of the bouy floats and I just know that one day my rod is going to bend and I will catch a diver.?

    I don't think I will get another Master Angler award from DOW? But I will try just for fun!!

    My brother got caught in the nipple once while working last summer. No time to tell it now.

    My son is hooked on diving, but (so far) hasn't been hooked WHILE diving.
