That sounds like a perfect "You know you are a redneck when..." sort of tale! Almost hit a garage door boating in a lake. Too funny! I almost hit a couch going down a river once! LOL! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Tuesday, March 02, 2010 8:39:20 PM)

Lakes can be scary places! While I have never been bit by a large fish, I have gotton the crap scared out of me by a water moc.
Also, in the spring, boating can be a bit dangerous as the things that fell in the water have not really been cleared out. We almost hit a Garage door laying on top of the water once. Now that would have been pretty.

I was snorkling once and a largish pike opened its mouth to take a bite of my hand when I stroked forward. thank goodness it was not too deep for me to stand up. scared me to death, and once it saw what the hand was attatched to scared it silly also.

Bud, I've petted stingrays before, but it was at the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN. They feel really cool. Kind of slimy but with texture too. I can see what you mean
about the way they eat as that is the way it looked while the diver was feeding them. Baby sharks in the tank too, only we were not allowed to pet them, nor did I have
the desire to. Lucy's teeth are enough for me. lol

Just stingrays thank goodness. That spot was pretty cool. It was a few miles off shore on a sand bar.
The water was only chest high. We fed them squid by hand. When they eat it's like a vacuum(literally).
When I first jumped in the water one stuck to my chest trying to feed. It scared the crap out of me. I was
taking steps backward and trying to (gently)pry it loose. Finally it let go. Once you got used to them
brushing up against your legs it was a pretty awesome experience. I don't know if it's true or not but they
tell you that's the only place in the world where you can get in the water and interact with stingrays like that.
