Two years ago my brother and I were fishing at Lake Thunderbird, near
Norman, Oklahoma. On a cast from the dam my brother snared a wayward
seagull in midair. The angry bird couldn't fly in that condition. My
brother had to real him in and untangle him from the line. What a mess.
The rest of us on shore just watched in a bemused amazement.

When it was all over the bird flew away, no doubt wondering what that was
all about.

I hooked a seagull in the foot, on the beach at Nexpa, Michoacan,
Mexico. While I was struggling to set the MF free, and while it was
biting me, a wave caught my rig and drove a big treble hook deep into my
thumb.

A guy I was fishing with at Christmas Island caught a huge albatross
while trolling for trevally. The guides, who had to release it, and who
had told him to bring his rig in when the albatrosses started going for
it, were ****ed,.
