We know that President Bush claims that his best moment in the last five years was catching a big perch at his ranch. 7.5 pounds (there's hint number one-- a perch that size would be pretty near a record.)
It wasn't a perch. It was a largemouth bass.
Check out paragraph sixteen of the linked article (ironically about Bush impersonator Steve Bridges, although in paragraphs 15-16 they are talking about the real Bush):
In the midst of his 1999 campaign run, the man who was once a Yale cheerleader scuffed up and spit-polished his Texas twang. Shortly before he was elected, he bought a sixteen-hundred-acre pig farm in Crawford, Texas, and transformed it into an old family homestead, complete with a man-made lake stocked with largemouth bass cross-bred so that they’re easy to catch.
He caught it in a lake he had made, and then filled with easy-catch fish.
Am I surprised?
No, not really. Not at all, in fact.

Just for once, I am on Bush's side.
It doesn't matter if he lied that he caught the largest great white shark; frankly, no one gives a damn.
But lying about WMDs, and subsequently fighting on a war based on a pack of lies, now that is a hell lot worse than lying about the fish you caught on any given day.
I'm sure there are bigger anti-bush fish to fry, the only thing is, Steve Bridges doesn't actually sound an awful lot like Bush. I guess you can't impersonate such an ineptness in language.
But look at the extremes. When asked to state the worst moment in his administration he said 9-11. When asked about the best he talked about a fish...Are to assume that catching a fish is as good as 911 was bad? That 911 was as bad as catching a fish had been good? My God, this man has warped priorities. The sad thing is that he probably couldn't think of a single monumental good thing that he has done. That says a lot.
