most embarrassing fishing experience = taking a friend across the chehalis river, watching him fall in, laughing at him only to realize he has dropped my spare rod and reel in the river along with a sentimental 80's ambassadeur reel that was in his back pocket.

scariest fishing moment
: realizing after a few minutes that the largest black bear you have ever seen is watching you from across the birkenhead river and is deciding whether to charge at you or not. also having a friend wake up to a bear sniffing his head
