Bush: Best Moment Of Presidency Was Catching 7.5 Pound Perch

Posted on May 8, 2006

George W. Bush says his best moment during his five years as president was when he caught a 7.5 pound perch in his own lake. Bush didn't mention whether his own lake is pre-stocked with fish.

Bush told Bild am Sonntag in an interview, "You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best. I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday."

Of course there are three much bigger prizes we would all like Bush to catch -- Osama Bin Ladin, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Bush said his worst moment was 9/11. New press secretary Tony Snow was no doubt quite relieved that the President didn't name one of his many bicycle accidents or falling of a Segway as his worst moment ever.
