Alaska for the bigger and taller men

I think the grizzly should have been carrying the spray.
My wife's uncle is a good sized dude. In his prime he was quite formidible. He likes to tell a story about a time that he and a few buddies were on a Canadian wilderness fishing fly in. They didn't pack much food, figuring they'd eat fish. Fishing wasn't so good, and several days in they were getting pretty hungry. One of them finally landed a good sized lake trout. While cooking the trout in foil on the fire, a black bear came strolling into camp; most of the guys ran off, but my wife's uncle stood up and scared the bear off. When asked why he didn't run off with the bear in camp, he stated that he was so hungry that, if need be, he was going to fight the bear for the fish.
