I have, twice. Once a blue cat with a circle hook still attached inside its mouth and the second a bass with an incompletely swallowed senko.

I recently had a line fail and I failed (lazy) to change until I lost 3 big Striper Schoolies (guessing at least 30 inches). So 3 fish with a 1 oz bucktail and a bright bubblegum tail attached out there now.
Braid was old and hacked up from structures and oysters in SC. And then from the first big Striper rubbing up against the cement pier I fish off here in Brooklyn.
Photo is around average size I’m catching now.

Several times during a bluefish blitz I've gotten Hopkins lures. Anglers were not using steel leaders in both cases.

Couple years ago I found a Northern Pike hot spot that was pretty much unknown to other fishermen in the area. Realized that a certain lure was working very well, but lost it to a Pike. Couple days later, I fished the same spot and managed to capture a Northern using an identical lure including my "lost" lure in its mouth.
Sometimes you get lucky.

I once caught a spring chinook by hooking the eye of a swivel. The swivel was attached to a lure that was firmly stuck in its mouth.

I was fluke fishing out of Galilee, RI, with brothers and a nephew in the nephew’s boat. He was acting as both captain and mate. We brothers fished, Adam drove the boat and netted our catches. I was fishing with a squid fly that I had tied, using a spinning rod and reel. I set the hook in a fluke, brought it to the boat, and Adam, in trying to net it, instead broke it off. My fluke, and my fly, were gone. Right away my brother next to me had one on. He reeled it in, got it to the boat, Adam netted it, and there was my squid fly in its lip. My brother got the fluke, I got my fly back. True story. Pretty cool.

I hooked a chain pickerel and it broke my line under the boat. A few weeks later I cast to the same spot, got a bite and landed the fish. When I took my fish from the net, I pulled my lure and my old lure fell from the one I caught the fish with.
(It was a red and white skirt lure) Many years ago! :)
True story!
Tight lines and… don’t let it get under the boat!

Once caught a Crappie that was attached to a rod, reel, and sliding bobber. This was from shore at Pymatuning Res. on the Oh./Pa. boarder line, back in the 1980s.

I would've mounted that fish and it would be on the wall with everything still attached great conversational piece🇺🇸😳👍

Caught a couple with worm hooks still imbedded. When I used to keep bass, sometimes they would look weird, like heady/ body didn’t look proportional. Would cut them open and find pieces of plastic worm in their stomachs. These fish were slowly starving to death. That’s why it’s important for fishermen to pay attention when using soft plastic baits...and to not throw broken / torn up baits in the water....My2cents...

Was fishing my favorite spot on
the Contoocook River (N.H.) and hooked into a nice little brookie,
which I lost right at my feet - the
line broke or the knot slipped,
but five minutes later I caught
the very same trout, as it still
had my snelled-hook spinner
and fat nightcrawler hanging
out of the corner of its' mouth !
