While fishing Alaska's Talkeetna River drainage, John First, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, hooked this 74-pound king salmon, which actually pulled him into the water and dragged him 300 yards downstream through a stretch of whitewater. He distinctly recalls watching the stream bed zip by and thinking, "I am going to to die here under water, and I'm not happy about it, but I have to accept it."
When he got to shore a tour guide found him "puking his guts up," but with his rod still in hand, and the fish on the bank. As for the fish's fate: "In return for him dragging me through 300 yards of whitewater and nearly drowning me, and breaking my rod, I ate him."
Now that's a fishing story.
