Fishermen may sometimes tell tall tales about the enormous fish that got away, but you've never seen anything like this. These people really did get the catch of a lifetime - and got it all on tape. From animals that shouldn't even be in the water to 40-ton "catches," you've got to watch these unbelievable fishing videos.
That shouldn't be in the water – A father and son fishing trip gets weird when they spot a deer in the water.  To see more great deer moments, check out 2010: The Year in Deer.

I used to be a chief in Manhattan. I made fish as well as deer dinners. Most of my clients chose the fish. However there were some that did choose deer over fish. I made sure that all of my plates were tender and seasoned to perfection or I would not serve it and start all over. Now I am a musician. Either way I would like to think that I contribute to society in a positive manner.
Who Cares?
I was thinking a Cheif, Like the head dude of some Indian Gang, No not the "do you want a slushy with that?" Indians but the "me gonna scalp you", Indian, "do you want to do my Squaw?" what the hell were we talking about???
Thanks chief.
great story. can you tell it again?
I think he meant he was a chef.
Yeah, I guess food and music are positive. Not like curing-cancer-positive, but not too bad. Why did you season your plates? Isn't the food supposed to be seasoned?
Hey Joey, if you're outta fraschini, can I have rigatoni instead?
Here's a wet one just for you... *poot*
looks like the chief was passing around the peace pipe when he came up with this story...
A CHIEF, HUH. JUST GUESS WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE IF YOU WERE A CHEF INSTEAD OF A CHIEF. REMARKABLE!
I was once a Chef. Then I was Cheif. I also like to eat deer. But will play music when I don't do chief chef stuff. Can we be friends?
Time for a walk outside and get some fresh air. Think about the next major life move.
Hey Chief ! This ain't no damned FOOD CHANNEL .
It's been a long time since Manhattan's had a chief.
The chief not only waxes philosophical, but he makes a good point. Food is meant to be eaten.
My dad used to say "I know a fellow in New York who has two white mules" after I would say something totally off-topic. Just thought I'd share that, because someone else's dad may have said the same thing, and it may bring back a pleasant memory.
It's been over two months and I keep coming back to this posting because the entire string never fails to make me laugh. Thank you Chief Joey!
I ,my self prefer the fish. Of course seeing how hot my girlfriend is,you too would really like the fish, my dear Joey
Joey... I think if you were a CHEF you would be able to spell it correctly. I have my doubts about your alleged culinary expertise.
maybe that's why he is now a musician.
More misinformation about deer hunting in the lead video. By culling the herd through hunting, less fawns like the one this father and son team saved will suffer from starvation come this winter. If you want to save more young deer, sir, pick that rifle back up, get out this Fall, and get your (adult) deer.
First of all this is not an uncommon occurrance. It happenes quite often; especially in archipelagos where deer swim from island to island. (I should know–it happened to me once while halibut fishing in Alaska. Secondly, the comment about the deer starving this Fall is just foolish speculation. Deer have been doing just fine for thousands, if not millions of years before hunters with rifles came along.
Yeah they were doing fine for millions of years, but there were wolves hunting them. With wolf populations now non existent, they actually must be hunted by humans for population control because they have no remaining natural predators.
Over population of deer can decimate the plant and animal diversity in a forested area. Let alone the increase in car accidents and personal property damage.
Wasting food, what about all the starving children in Africa?
name two...
Tick tick clop clop and his sister tiga tag tick tock. Both from Somalia, and both are starving.
There's a big difference. You can't blame human starvation on Animals…but you SURE can blame the loss of wildlife on Humans. Millions of sharks are killed each year alone for something as unnecessary and foolish as shark fin soup. I'd love for everyone who preaches about saving the starving children (yet their parents have enough food to still keep living and breeding) to first gain some perspective and then read up on the story of Easter Island. If our population isn't curved drastically soon, we'll all suffer the same fate!
They caught a fawn fish ? Oh DEER !
I'm sorry folks. I can't believe I said that !! mea maxima culpa
Drowning Deer? Unlikely – Deer can swim – I have encountered them swimming to and from an island about 4 miles off the coast of Long Island.
Not JIF.
Not even a fair imitation.
maybe the chief was passing around the peace pipe when he came up with his story...
Good god there are a lot of vile people on here today.
@ Matt, Joe wasn't even a bugger flipper, do you believe that he was a even a musician? Maybe be he eats lots of beans and toots a lot.
You think he's running on one cylinder?
Also, you sound hot.
Why did the salmon cross the road? (re the 4th video)
to get to the other side of the road
