Was fishing in the bass boat about 15 years ago and lost the grip on my rod and real and it went overboard. Flipped the wife my wallet and dove in without thinking. Got the rod and real and climbed back into the boat.
Wife was laughing at my dumba$$, looked around to see if any other fisherman saw my little screw-up, that's when I saw a couple of 10 footers about 75 feet away on the opposite bank.
A very good learning experience.
That’s too damn close,,,
Some of the smaller lakes here have been closed for swimming
because of alligators,,,
They kept quite about that 12 footer for a few days,,,
Damn Fishin’ contest...
