The story goes,  before we were even borned,  that Dad was fishing in the lake (PA), and caught a record 4' pike.

But they didn't have anything to bash it with.

So Mom sat on the killing-you, feisty-thrashing,  fish, the whole way,  while Dad rowed back to shore.

Then. I don't know.  I guess they ate it.

I learned later

The next campsight would yell,  "HOLY ****!!  DAD JUST GOT BIT BY A SNAKE!!!"

Then all the Dad's would grab their bottle of whiskey and run that way.  That's what you do for snakebites.  It cures it.  I think you pour it on it.

Then, an hour later,  the next guy would get bit!

Snakes all over the damn place!

We were (I was tiny) in Yosemite, or somewhere, and Dad was fishing.

This trout came from under the boulder,  looked at his bait, and swam back.  For all day.  For, obviously, too long.

Dad said, "If I were a bear, I'D DO THIS!!!!"

And he jumped into the river and came out with a 3' fish in his arms.

And there were suddenly (I don't know.  I was tiny) four park rangers right there.

I don't know the deal.

I don't think Dad fished any more after that.

And at Yosemite, or somewhere,  in the middle of the night,  a bear stuck his head in the tent!

Dad popped up on his haunches,  faster than anyone had ever seen him move before (probably magnificently drunk),  grabbed his Army knife..... !

The bear sniffed around.  And left.

My brother said, "Wow!  Dad!  Were you going to fight that bear?!?"

Dad said, "Hell no.  I was going to make a back door in the tent."
