We catch a lot more than crabs in our pots and rings... what's the strangest thing you've pulled up?

Yesterday I came up with several small California halibut, around 8" long, and this monster Buffalo Sculpin. Don't think I've ever seen one of those before. This one had a huge full belly - I wonder how many crabs he had just eaten... there weren't any left in the ring!

Wow.. crazy fish. I saw someone at the pier the other day bringing in a 3ft long shark. Not sure if it was a ring or a pot

Not weird, but I have pulled up a seal.  Half way up, I thought I hit it big as it was heavy, the wife looked over and informed me that I was unlucky.  :smt005

Those buffalo sculpin are crazy looking.  Demon frogs :smt005  I got a nice one jetty fishing a few years ago.


To answer your question, had a sand sole in the crab ring one time.

When I was a kid I use to use those pyramid traps and one time off Newport Pier I brought up an octopus, it was hanging by one tentacle.

It's weird how they will sometimes hang on instead of escaping. I've heard of them filling a trap with eggs, too.

Florence, Oregon I was a kid crabbing with my grandpa and my brother, we pulled up a diver who’s arm got lodged in the trap as we started to pull it. It was from the south jetty pier and unfortunately for him, the state trooper/ game warden was on site checking licenses, the guy had a bunch of small crabs in his bag so he got sighted for that and a long talking to about reaching into other peoples traps.

That's hilarious! I bet you thought there were some monster crabs in that trap...

I got that same fish in a hoop net at Doran this week.  Is this also known as a Sculpin?
