Tough one. I've caught all five species of salmon on rod/reel in a day. That was cool.

Whooped some big guys and out fought several at once. I'm the honey badger and I don't give a chit. 😉 The last fight I got into in HS was 2 on 12. We had 9 of them laid out and the last 3 ran away.

Caught a 5.5 pound rainbow that had been leaping up onto dry land to catch passing voles, then she would flop a couple times down slope to regain the water. She had at least 5 in her stomach, gullet, with a tail hanging out the corner of her mouth. And she took my spoon. greedy!
That is a whopper of a fish story right there! The best part? Hardly anyone believes it, but it is true. Tickles the heck out of me. It was about 17 miles up Goodnews River, from the village. That is one heck of a fishing stream- 5 species of salmon, rainbows, dolly varden, grayling and assorted other dink/bait fish. Three of us were establishing a first ever ADF&G salmon counting station there that summer. I fished almost every day for several hours, usually catching several to many rainbow. The last day there I finally caught one under 14 inches (12), but that she-male "Jaws" was the biggest. Even my 100 lb Lab learned to catch fish after a month of trying. He would sit on the 3 foot high bank below the tower, and watch into the water- also about 3 feet deep. He finally learned to correct for difraction, and to dive in on passing salmon with front legs outstretched. The fish would ride up his legs into his mouth. The day he tied into a 35 lb king I had to hold unto the tower rails to keep from falling out, I was laughing so hard. The fish got away, but it was a heck of a 30 second circus.. He got out, sneezed a few times, shook, and looked up at me with this chit-eating "WOW!" expression. I had to tie him up after that when I was tower watch- wouldn't have looked good to the public... He only went fishing when I was tower watch.

Saved 3 kids from drowning at the same time. Was part of a 4 man crew very hastily put together to search for a girl that was swept away in a remote mountain creek. We were too late. Day hiked round trip, Mt McGregor in north central Washington state. A brutal 6200 ft elevation gain in 8 miles, topping out at 8122 feet. Been in excess of 180 mph on a motorcycle at night. Went from 80mph to zero on a motorcycle in about 1 foot and lived to tell about it.

Saw 5 mountain lions nose to tail heading up a ridge. Killed two bull caribou with one shot at 693 yds (not on purpose but I did have two tags). Lived through two engine failures in helicopters. Had a client "lose" his rifle off his shoulder in an Alaska alder patch (I went back and found it). Watched my Dad shoot a 226" mule deer. Married the girl I had a crush on in Kindergarten (we just had our 20 year anniversary).

Caught a greedy interior whitefish on a pixie that had the tail of a smaller whitefish sticking out of it's mouth. Have seen pike grab ducklings off the surface of the river. OT relative to the thread, just following las' lead.

Gaffed a largish lingcod gently in the mouth per my normal and saw something peculiar in the gullet... turned out to be the crossed wingtips of a gull. Not gonna eat nuthin that would eat a gull!

Beat on a C-130 starter control valve while the pilot pressed the starter button. It was on my first cross country flight without an instructor. A prop turning that close gets your attention! Once the prop started turning I had the pilot stop start, closed the cowling, and got the stand out of the way. Luckily the engine started the next try and at the next stop.

Someone mentioned Secret Service. One time I had a bunch of Secret Service guys hanging out in my closet. True story.

Married a lady 52 years ago that was born the same month, day & year that I was. She is two hours older than me. Seems to cause confusion on insurance paperwork. GW Yes were from Missouri and not cousins! You ever call her "old lady"?

Married the girl I had a crush on in Kindergarten (we just had our 20 year anniversary). My longest game shot to date is a caribou bull at 802 yards. I figured many had done similar. So its not really a big deal. 693 is out there too a bit!

Barrel-rolled a motorcycle after dropping the front wheel into a 45 degree railroad rail cut while starring at a pink, 3/4 life-size, plastic elephant that had just come into view around a curve.
