Wave Fishing Trip
One day my good friend Chad and I went fishing at the river. I was carrying my recently bought Leatherman Blast and he was carrying his Leatherman Fuse. While we were casting, Chad noticed a large Walleye that had been caught on a piceral rig, one hook was in the side of the Walleye and the other hook was snagged on a log. The person earlier had obviously hooked the Walleye and had snagged the log and his line broke. So I couldn’t let a Walleye die like that, so I waded into the river. Fighting fast flowing water and trying to stay by the fish, I pulled out the Blast and used the knife to cut the line that had been caught on the fish. I grabbed the fish and dragged him to shore. I used the pliers to gently dislodge the hook. I picked up the Walleye and measured him; he turned out to be 49 cm. I ended up releasing the fish and at that point I realized I will always love Leatherman.

OK, you voyeur, you. Enough of reading other people's stories. It's time you told your own tale of gripping heroism or even just neat DIY'ism. We know there's a Shakespeare in you somewhere. Don't make us use the Steens to find it.
