I bet it wasn't as funny as the day when my Dad hooked a sea plane flying by the Long Branch fishing pier in the middle 1950's. My dad had just cast out (using a conventional reel) when a coast guard sea plane with a cowboy pilot flew by the end of the pier, low enough and close enough that the loop in the line got hooked over one of the pontoons. The line went roaring off the reel until it burned my Dad's thumb and the reel back lashed and the line broke off.
I bet the pilot was surprised to see the sinker/hook/bait on the pontoon if it was still there when he landed.
