Just a few:

Once while wade fishing elkhorn, cast a pop r by the bank in an eddy and out popped a copperhead, taking in the lure then going into its hole in the bank. He kept that one!

At Cave Run, my mother in back of the boat dunking worms, lands a bluegill, picks it up about 2 feet out of the water and before she gets it in the boat, a large musky jumps out of water, eating fish, bobber and all scaring her to death.

Fishing in the surf, throwing a 1/2 oz jig in 2 feet of water, suddenly see a flash then up jumps a 5 foot tarpon not 6 feet in front of me. Had to change my shorts soon after but kept fish on for three more jumps on 10lb test!

While fighting a large Cobia in a kayak, had an extremely large leopard ray surface between me and the fish, again needed to change my shorts!

Have also caught my share of seagulls and two pelicans. Too many saltwater stories to list!!
