My best is hooking a Yellow Headed Gannet on a fishing lure while trolling one time, 6 foot wingspan !!
It was only tucked in his beak so we carefully dragged him to the back of the runabout where he perched beside the outboard screeching at me with wings widespread. I managed to throw a towel over his head and move quickly to sit beside him so I could get the lure out. He was very docile while I did this. Even gentle with his wings but when I flicked the towel off to turn him loose he went bannanas, chomped on my thumb, belted me round the head with his wings and then took off.
Still felt good about it though as he soared away ...
