  Hardcore Fishing
I like fishing, but this is insane. From my sister Nancy, writing about my niece Katie and more specifically her boyfriend who live in Hood River, Oregon:
"This is a picture of Katie’s boyfriend with a fish he caught recently. Here’s how he caught it

Katie, Aaron and Aaron’s dad were windsurfing on the Columbia River. Aaron, a fairly fanatic fisherman, saw this fish while windsurfing – in high wind, in big waves.

Aaron LEAPED INTO THE WATER AND CAUGHT THE FISH WITH HIS BARE HANDS. And then hung onto it until Katie and his dad windsurfed over, tied a rope around the fish’s tail and towed it to shore. And then they ate it.

For the record, it’s a salmon. And there are witnesses, so while this is truly a fishy story, it’s a true truly fishy story.
The guy sounds just wacky enough to get along well in our family. (That's not a hint. Just sayin'...) Although Walleye and Bass would probably bore him to tears.

Nice fish!
