Jim has me beat, I've gone to Indy and picked fish up there.  I've gone to Louisville to just look at fish (Rusty Wessel's place)

164mi (I frequently go between the zip codes in my profile & usually have fish with me. )

Other than that the OCA Extravaganza is 160mi from Livonia  & I've been there the past 2yrs

About 1000 miles...when I went on a collecting trip for native fish in the Gulf of Mexico as an eight year old while on vacation in FL.  :)

Drove to southern Florida in the South, New Jersey to the East, and Kansas to the West to collect natives, including cichlids in FL (over the years).

Drove to St. Louis last August to pick up some rare pikes and attend the MASI auction.
