The funniest I saw was a summer sockeye flosser who when he tried to bonk a flopping sox with a rock miss the fish and hit his rod breaking 2 feet from the tip.
The scariest was an extremely low riding zodiac with 3 guys no PFDs on barely moving up the Fraser using an underpowered 9.9. They would have gone down for sure if they got hit by the wake from a bigger jet boat.

Walking along the bar at Peg Leg... out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rodney reeling madly and squeling "Feeeesh Onnnnn!" with a big grin??? ???
Then I realized it was some asian girl with short hair... ;D ;D

*The above story was totally fictional (I was bored) ... I don't even know how to get to Peg Leg...

I was stopped by DFO at Seabird recently with an ice box full of fish. The DFO guy asked me, "Do you have a license to catch those sockeye?" I replied to the DFO guy, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the DFO replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the river and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into the ice box, and I take em home." "That's a bunch of Bulls--t! Fish can't do that!" I looked at the DFO for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The guy was curious. I poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the guy turned to me and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" I responded. "When are you going to call them back?" the DFO prompted. "Call who back?" I asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" I asked.

Scariest thing I saw was a friend I brought out kneeling down to clean his fish when someone decides to step in and fish a little while he's at it. With my back turned I hear a very loud squeal/scream. I turn around to see my friend with one hand clutching the other, the guy set the hook while casting. Not a big deal I guess, but due to positioning, there is no reason why it couldn't have been his eye. The pale faced offender apologized profusely and we didn't see him again that day.
The funniest, same day, was a guy that shouted fish on and then spring on shortly after. It was really fighting him, moving around and then attempting to spool him. Everyone pulled their lines out anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beast. After a few minutes, someone suggests it may be a snag, as it isn't moving much anymore. "oh no, it's a spring!" after a few more minutes I shout out, "it's either going to be a story about the spring you caught, or another story posted on the Internet about a guy who fought a snag for a 1/2 hour" Not sure if my comment got in his head, but a few minutes later he decided to rethink the spring theory and free up from his snag.
I guess that whole 'story on the net' thing came true after all.
One more, somewhat scary. Fishing at my usual spot and someone says there is a bear across the river. Sure enough a nice big bear, neat to see. Cut to 24 hours later in the same spot, 2 fishermen. Scary if the two stories came together.

-guy bouncing with half a trout rod
-dead black bear floating downstream

I saw a guy with a drill with an attachment that slid onto the handle of his reel. At the end of his swing he would slide the drill on and retrieve his line.

Funniest........Guy flossing socks with pocket-fisherman, guy punching another guy and chucking his rod into the river
nothing scary as it's all a big joke to me >:(
stopped to watch the insanity on way home from interior, mind boggling
-
Saddest was watching a baby black cub float down the river.
-
funniest was seeing a guy fight his first sockeye and finally landed it on the beach, only to watch it spit its hook and start flopping back to the water. he then left his feet and did a full on belly flop onto the fish trying to stop it, the fish was half a second quicker than him and made it back into the river, he also landed in the river, got up soaked to the bone and just laughed it off.
-
Highlight would be setting up the lawn chair and watching the hoards of people at Peg leg do there thing.
Downside, coming across sockeye, which I call Coho.
Navy Seal that was awsome.
-
well the highlight is being able to buy all the sockeye i need from the commercial guys in one go rather than wasting a few weekends and spending more money traveling and being stressed out for the day from hoards of goobers.

That bear ended up on shore just above Jesperson. Looked like it had a bullet hole in it.

;D ;D ;D...awesome.

Budding was bringing in a fish, and it ran towards my other friend, jumped and smacked him in side of the head. Scariest... well actually, the flossing scene is a hell of a lot more civilized than the Vedder in about a month's time.
Navy Seal, that was hilarious ;D
-
I saw an old fella in a large boat hook a spring,drop the float,then turn and wind his anchor rope soundly around his prop.He wouldn't give up on that fish though,and under no power,bounced though the boats below him.Another did almost the same,hooking his anchor under his jet outboard and chasing a spring from just above me and my son.Never would have seen it if i didn't yell to him.You could feel that anchor coming down river bouncing like a big betty.Scary stuff.
-
The funniest thing for me was watching hundreds if not thousands of people flocking to the banks of the river like gold was coming down. The scariest thing was when I went and joined them.
-
Funniest: My buddy hooks a spring and the guy above him yells "is it a big one?" and my buddy yells back at him "my wife thinks so?"
Scariest: Walking back to the truck with my fish along the tracks, I suddenly came upon a black bear who was gorging on blackberries, he stood up on his hind legs eye-to-eye level with me about 20 feet away...luckily he took off on the run...had to check my shorts after that one.

Not this year, but the funniest thing I've ever seen at a flossfest was a few years back at the Keith Wilson Bridge when an American took out his sidearm to subdue a nasty 30lb turning-black-sperm-spewin White Spring.
Shot it right in the head.....I think people were more shocked than anything.

Hope that guy got called on and spent some time at the crowbar hotel!!!

Or we should all carry a video camera around and at the end of the season, put the "best of the best" of everyones videos into one video, maybe it might become a big hit. lol
