Several that I have heard. Spit chew on you bait it attracts catfish and Spray WD 40 on your lures it attracts all fish. The WD 40 sort of seems to work if you've been drinking.
Another one is a young boy was water skiing in Kansas. He fell and was waiting for the boat to come back and get him. In the mean time he was pulled under by something and totally freaked out when he surfaced again. The people in the boat quickly pulled him in and discovered a rash like ring around one of his legs/ankle. Turns out that a big flathead grabbed his leg, pulled him under and then let him go. I read it in the Lincoln paper a number of years ago. Believe it or not! Seems plausible but it would take a lot of force to pull someone with a life jacket under water.
The scuba diver stories are my favorite. I used to scuba dive and everything looks bigger when it's in your face. Big Flatties look gigantic. I've never met a scuba diver that was afraid to go diving because of a big fresh water fish (well maybe alligator gar). That would suck!
