#29: Fishing Shenanigans
This sounds like a pretty harmless experience, but considering this person was around 7-8 years old at the time, we can see why this day has left an impression on him. They went fishing with some friends (and hopefully, adults were around) and were leaning over the water when a fish emerged out of the water.
According to them, it was a huge gar pike! Now, we should keep in mind they were just kids at the time, so the fish might have struck them ad bigger and scarier than it actually was. That being said, a gar pike can get pretty big! The record size for a gar is 8 feet 5 inches and 327 pounds!
