Used to go fishing a lot with my family growing up but frankly we stunk. But we enjoyed ourselves. We'd primarily fish for Pike with a little bit of perch or Walleye thrown in for good measure.
One of my most memorable catches was when I hauled in a pretty good size Pike. Quite the battle to get it into our little aluminum boat, at which time I took out the "bonker" and went to town on the fish.
Figured the thing was dead so i leaned in for a closer look as it laid still on the bottom of the boat. At this point though it had one last breath of life left - which is used to come around with its tail and smack me hard right across the face - knocking me on my ass and darn near out of the boat.
Not a bad way to go out if you're a fish.
