one of my aunties in their slightly younger days caught a marlin and has it replicated on her wall in her basement. pretty amazing story.
the other older one in her 50's went shark fishing and caught a 9ft long shark over 700 lbs and to hear her tell the story of that battle is the BEST story i've ever been told. she recalls the bruises and the blood from fighting that shark for hours. she recalls tell her husband Jr about catching it and he was calling bingo that night and she says "i caught a shark" and he says, "well J.C. Melba (sorry hate using Lord's name in vain but that's what he said)" and she says it was 9 ft long and he says it again with MORE shock and surprise and then she tells him it's weight and he says it again all freaked out in shock!!
you just have to meet this lady. she looks like Lucille Ball and kinda has the humor to boot.
