I know the tree thing...fishing at night last summer with my girlfriend. thought we had a catfish, but the line seemed like it was stuck...so we kept pulling, because it was 20lb line, so we could. we gradually got some movement towards us. we thought we had a turtle or something....it got closer, it looked like a snake on top of the water. My girlfriend was freakin out at this point because she's scared to death of snakes. I calmed her down and we kept pulling. it was a HUGE tree branch. this branch was bigger than me, and I'm 6'2½". So we pulled it up onto our little pier and started untangling line, and low and behold, there was indeed a catfish on the line. Oooooooooooh......good times, good times...
