Aquatic: Once, while fishing for Blues, I caught a decent sized Sand Shark. (Excellent fight!)
Once *accidentally* caught a 5foot(across) Ray.(Felt like I was pulling up a deadweight that would fight every second or so) wow, was it was PISSED off when I got it to the surface!!!
Woah, moose are huge, what kinda mess did THAT make?!?!?
It totaled a 2007 Freightliner Classic XL. I used to have pics, but I lost them when my hard drive took a dump on me. Mine looked like this one only a different color before the moose:
I was running 65 MPH in Montana and I hit it full and square as it ran across the road. Tore the hood off, destroyed the radiator to it's base components and when it went up and OVER the engine, it took all of the intake with it, including both turbos and air cleaners. It's head bent around the drivers side and took out the steering and I wound up in a ditch on my side.

Hit a 150 lb (60 MPH guess) buck with my Grand Prix this morning. I had it down to around 15 by the time I made contact, so i only bruised him. I have 5 confirmed deer road kills so far. LOTS of deer out here.
36.5" Sturgeon as far as fish go. I'd say not counting what I've hit with my car, as far as land animals go, a 3ish foot rattlesnake would be the biggest.

Caught a 8 1/2 ft hammer head shark in 82 off my boat ....There are only 2 things to remember when shark fishing...do not get in the water with them and DO NOT GET THEM IN THE BOAT WITH YOU. I even shot the damn thing and came up with this brillant idea to take it in and show it to my wife...It woke up half way in and tore the seats out , broke rods and in general tried to get even. Me I was sitting in the front as far away as I could hopeing it would hurry up and die all the while the boat is going where ever it wanted to....it was still running..I had tied a rope to its tall to drag it on the boat so I thought I could loop it over the cleat in the front and get in the back pull the rope til it was in the front and it should thrash its way out....Wrong wrong..it sort of worked he did get up in the front and he did get himseft off the boat but only after taking out both windshields and a rail....and as all fishermen do when they get home and talk about the one that got away my wife thought I was crazy til she saw the boat....then she wouldn't go fishing with me again....This was all 200 yards offshore in 12 to 15 feet of water and people think I am crazy for not swimming in the ocean.
Other than your basic housefly and the occasional wasp, I had to kill and eat a rabbit in SERE school. That's really about it...
You got to eat good! Jungle survival in PI I went hungry for a day because I couldnt down bugs.. after that caught a few bats and snakes. Those are edible if you're hungry enough.

Shot and then tracked a wounded 1,400 pound Silvertip Grizzly 3/4 of a mile through thick brush in the middle of the night, mostly by sound. Immobile but still mostly alive, we finished him off with a .357 headshot from 10 feet away. I was one scared 11 year old.
When skinned out, the bottom part of his heart had been pierced by the 7.65 round from the 1909 Argentine mauser.
3/4 of a mile on a leaky heart. One tuff monster, them grizz.
My dad once killed a bear with the toothpick from his Swiss army knife. While walking to school up hill both ways barefoot in the snow. That was the story I was told as a child.
I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork.
Now on to the truth. I think I have killed more deer with cars over the years than guns. Never really kept track but I think the count is higher with vehicles than guns.
Caught a deer in a fence line in TN once, but Melanie made me cut the little guy free. He ran off and stopped and looked back after a few yards and I swear the guy smiled back at us.

Just some average to large white tail bucks. Almost killed an extremely obese man who somehow made his way onto the freeway in the middle of the night. I managed to miss that mess though thank god.
