I've seen some stuff in that green pond growing up I wont tell anyone about [shocked] That's why I live on top of a mountain now LOL. I actually put on a seal suit and swam in that mix ????
the heck was I thinking ??? I was CHUM !!!!! My reality check must have bounced.
Was at the Isthmus, Catalina Island when they brought in the Great White that ended up on display frozen at Sea World in San Diego. Matter of record, 3200 lbs., Big Fish. Eerily similar to Jaws, harpooned it off the West End ( My Dive Spot !!!!!!! ) and it took down 6 fat buoys for 3 days, found it out by the 60 mile banks out there, that's a good 35 miles. Then they spent the next full day getting it into the cockpit of this 70 or so foot s'fisher so it wouldn't end up like Santiago's Marlin.
From that day on, never so much as stuck my little toe in the ocean, never even quite felt comfortable on a boat out there anymore, just all kinda hit home I guess.
City folks that know how I live ask me : "Aren't you afraid of bears and things up there?" ...... Uh..(chuckle)....No
