clam - Like the above, I figure that it was open and the hook dragged across it.
set of various-sized rusty tin cans all wired together - We figured that they had once been attached to the car of some newly-weds. Thought I really had something the way it fought coming in.
dead carp (mud-encrusted) - I had spun up a bait-caster with a red and white Dardevle attached to the line. When it settled to the bottom as I un-nested the reel, it must have dropped right on the open mouth of the carp.
