Caught the same fish twice... TWICE!

[CalicoKid]

Last Saturday morning we went out for Walleye using live minnows on wire hooks in a reservoir lake. We caught and released many fish in one of which I left a red Tru-turn aberdeen hook because it was hooked deep. Another fish broke a knot and kept my partner's orange Gamakatsu hook. I was a little concerned about the deep hooked fish.<br /><br />In the evening we returned to the same place and caught and released more Walleye, they were very active. Around an hour before sunset I pulled up a fish that had something orange on it's lip. The Gamakatsu hook with no knot! What are the chances? My pard got his hook back and the fish got returned. The very next fish I caught, no kidding, had a red Tru-turn aberdeen in it's throat. I couldn't believe it. I felt better knowing it was OK so far with the hook left in and was feeding again. I'm sure I'll never be able to repeat that!<br /><br />Al in all we boated and released around 30 Walleye that day. Most in the 16-19" range.

What are the chances of that? Especially, two fish, twice?!?! I love Lake Wisconsin. Not familiar with all the stump fields yet to take my own boat there yet

Oh, we were on Petenwell, which is a lot like Lake WI but much bigger. Definately danger under the water!

I did the same thing when I was a kid. In northern Michigan fishing for pike. Hooked as 22" pike on a Mepps spinner (my favorite) and broke him off. Next morning fishing in the same spot hooked a fish. Reeled him in and there was my spinner hooked in his jaw. I guess they still gotta eat.

There is a bass in one of the lakes I fish that has been caught at least four times that I know of. Once by me and the other three times by guys that I know. He only has one eye and hangs out on the same rocky point for the last two years now.<br /><br /> Calico,,30 decent eyes in one day thats awesome!

My friend and I were salmon fishing in the Strait of Juan de Fuca which is salt water. We were 6 miles from shore in water over 600 feet deep. <br /><br />My friend gets a fish on and gets it to the boat, its a pink salmon. Some how it got tangled up in the leader and the leader left lines/stripes on the body where it was rubbing the scales off. He let it go because we were targeting coho.<br /><br />Ten minutes later he gets another fish on. He gets it to the boat and its the same fish!! It has has the same lines/stripes on the body.<br /><br />We were trolling and the current was very strong that day, so we had to be about a 1/2 mile from where he first caught that fish.
