Anyone done a MacNab?

I have just started a company producing audio books on different country
sports and pastimes. The first ones are Fly Fishing Tales 1 and 2 —
in each tape 6 top fishermen recall their most memorable catch and we
include the actual flies they used ... We are exploring other topics and
are currently looking for people who have achieved a MacNab to interview.
I am sure there must be some among OWDs who either have achieved, or aspire
to achieve, the ‘Grand Slam’ of the Highlands.
