One Fall on the Ganaraska River in Ontario I was Steelhead fishing and hooked into what had to at LEAST a 20 lb buck male. I fought this fish for 25 mins and when i had him right up to me about to grab him....."snap" goes my line and he swam away ever so slowly.....i was pissed none the less!!

4' blacktip shark. Outer Banks, NC. Back in high school, friends and I would drink around campfires on the beach at night. I'd throw out a live atlantic croaker, double hooked, into the surf while we talked and drank. I always set the drag loose because I never knew what was going to hit it! One night I hooked a 4-footer and man did that thing give me a fight. Took about 15min to pull in but best fight next to a big channel cat!

5 days ago i was fishing rockland lake in NY with a 4 pound test 6 foot 2 year old shakespeare ugly stick. Hooked into a 5 pound 20 inch largemouth and took me over five minutes to finesse him out of the lillie pads. He took multiple runs and then i reached down and finally lifted him into the boat.

My best fight happened 2 nights ago when I hooked into a 47 Inch Muskie. She tried to run but I didn't let her take an inch. She then tried to go deep and my rod bent double over, I finally got her in. What a rush!!

Hooked a 40 lb atlantic one evening around 8 pm ,thought i had hooked the rock i was casting near , started bouncing the rod plucking on the fly trying to pop it out of the rock like a dam fool then the fish took off reel screaming and water flying..It would sit in the pool for what seemed like a half hour then explode out of the water running from one end of the pool to the other for a fue minutes then just stop like a log again and rest,i couldnt budge it with my 8lb line..when i got it landed it was dark...then had to walk 8km down river to the highway in the dark but it was well worth it...this was 15 years ago and everytime i fish im hoping to hook a monster like that again...i'll never forget the big old kype on it ,it was a huge male with a giant upturned lower jaw you could stick your whole hand in its mouth...only thing that i have ever hooked that has made me as excited was one realy nice halibut that i lost after 10 min... a shark which are rare to catch here would definatly be my next big thrill......
did the famous" A River Runs Through It "scene once with a 25 lb atlantic landing it quarter mile down river from where i hooked it soaked from head to toe but that fight still wasnt as insane as the runs that big fish made...that same summer saw a friend who had witnessed the 25lb chase,hook a true monster on the same pool and refuse to chase it like i did ...was the biggest fish i ever saw jump in my life, im sure it would of been a flyfishing record.After it ran up stream 100 yards it turned and ran down river jumping twice as it passed us,he was still reeling in the upstream line it came back down so fast....he looked at me and said" im not chasing it if it goes for the fast water"...I beged him to chase it for a fue minutes as it worked closer to the end of the pool,then the fish was over the lip in the fast water and gone.....I would be still chasing it yet..
Ill never forgive you Terrance lol
