Sewer fishing: Can fishing get any crazier?
Yes, you read that correctly.

A teenager in Katy, Texas, has one of the most uniqueand oddestfishing holes youll ever see and its located just off the sidewalk near his house. Kyle Naegeli, 16, goes sewer fishing through the holes of the storm drain manhole cover. Certainly its the craziest-type fishing weve ever encountered.
Naegeli baits a hook, puts it through a hole in the manhole cover, and drops it down into the water of the storm sewer below. A cork attached to the line above prevents losing the line. Then he waits....
I had always known there was water from having a ball or Frisbee accidently thrown in, Naegeli told GrindTV Outdoor. I rigged up a small hook and a worm, and on the first drop I had a small bluegill on. After I showed the fish to my dad he gave me the $5, and I knew that wasnt the last sewer fish I was gonna catch....
By the way, he doesnt eat any of the fish he catches. He releases them back into the storm drain.
(big sigh of relief)
