Hooked what I thought was a big spring bar fishing on the Fraser River. Turns out it was a 5 foot sturgeon, hooked in the mouth. The Abu 6501 went for repairs after that.
Bar fishing on the Columbia River using a blade and dew worm, while watching a deer swim across the river my rod started to bend so I grab it and set the hook. Line keeps going out so I figured I had hooked onto a log rolling across the bottom of the river. Applying a bunch of pressure to try to break the leader off and suddenly a sturgeon comes shooting out of the water, dragging my line through the water with it.
Fishing on the Skagit River one evening, my friend upstream lets out some weird noise and I lookup and see his floating line straight up in the air. The line is swinging in big circles that are getting smaller and smaller as he strips line in. Turns out a nighthawk had grabbed his dry fly while he was casting. After the ensuing hand-to-claw combat, the hook was freed and the bird flew away. So we start driving home and wham a nighthawk flies into my grill, flips up and lands dead on the windshield. No idea if it was the same bird.
