A few weeks ago while fishing the Vedder with gman, he spotted a chrome hatchery coho sitting in the shallows right in front of him. gman gave that fish close to shore a nudge and it quickly shot off into the deep. ;D

Moments before that a guy upstream of us played a coho for a while and lost it. I suspect the coho acting kind of stunned in the shallows was the fish that broke free. When I grabbed its tail it took off and seemd fine.

The first year I fished the Squamish a dog not only bumped my leg but it actually bit my waders :o and took a small piece of neoprene out as a souvenir. You should have seen my reaction as I nearly jumped out of my waders.

Oh come on, you sissy.... So what if a fish tried to nibble your thigh... ;D

I had a 60 lbs ling cod take my whole upper arm in its mouth when I went swimming by its egg mass at 60 feet. That wakes you up.

Also had a fleet of dogfish try to rip me to shreds because I was testing out a super bright light.

Fish can be scary
