Here's one that happened to me. I cast to a pool that was right beside some flowing water and was trying to land my small bugger near a stick that was standing up. I didn't realize that there was some fishing line caught on the stick and my fly hung over the line and it was sitting there about 4 inches above the water. I stood there for a few seconds trying to decide on wading the stream or trying a roll cast to get the fly off the other line when a bass jumped out of the water and grabed my bugger. somehow the hook set and pulled off the other line and I was able to land the fish. afterward I stood there and thought to my self "why is there never anyone around to see things like this when they happen"
