1. Caught a state record goldeye when I was 4 years old.
2. Broke my own record from #1 6 days later.
3. Was in sports illustrated ‘faces in the crowd’.
4. Was a guest on the David Letterman late night show.
5. Won a mountain goat tag in a raffle.

The first 4 are all because my dad had the patience to drag my ass along when fishing. Life’s rough when you peak at 4 years old!
 
1. Alaskan moose hunt, unsuccessful
2. Amazon Peacock bass fishing, unsuccessful
3. Latvian Red Stag hunt, unsuccessful
4. Reunion Island Marlin fishing, unsuccessful
5. S.C. Whitetail hunt, unsuccessful

It is the accumulation of my ineptness that is my point.
Excluding #5 (no interest), you've saved me some $ - Thanks :) . I may still have to suffer a shot at Amazon peacock bass fishing - That has been a bucket list line item for some time. I'm in the same boat as your #4 (Cortez) though will give it another go at some point.

A list of personal standout activities, not necessarily accomplishments, beyond the majority of my friends...
  • Age 16, as a YMCA lifeguard, saved a 7 y/o with cpr.
  • Competed as a "Morey Team Rider" (Mach 7-7, Baby!) Bodyboard extraordinaire.
  • Enduro ride from the Prudhoe Bay, AK to the tip of BCS, Mex (Baja). With two buddies - one injured along the route (full recovery).
  • Survived beyond 9 cat lives from motorcycle to atv wrecks and still walking.
  • Recent scuba with bull sharks.
 
1. Got knocked out stone cold at the 50 yard line in the Fargo Dome

2. Peed in the urinal right next to Roy Williams (unc basketball coach) at the college World Series.

3. Got trapped in a hay feeder in the middle of a lot for 4 hours by a pissed off bull.

4. A. I. ‘D thousands of cows.


5. Got a combine up to about 45 mph when it popped outta gear going downhill, spun a complete 360 in the middle of the county road when I finally panicked and stomped the brakes only to catch 1. (Why couple them like a smart person for road transport?)


My accomplishments are a lot like my knowledge, varied, and mostly useless.
