    Oh, I know. Not really worried about sharks specifically. It's just a primal fear.

    You're very brave.
    And if we should die tonight
    Then we should all die together
    Raise a glass of wine for the last time
    Calling out father, prepare as we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky..

    My rule with ocean water is stick near the beach. When I can't touch or see the bottom - it's not to be played in.

    Even then, a rip tide can seriously ruin your day.

    I HATE the water. Been across the Atlantic on a ship. Never again. If I want fish I go to Red Lobster.

    My best friend and I were spearfishing about 9 miles out of Pensacola Pass in about 1997. I had shot a grouper and several snappers. I always keep my stringer close to me hanging on my weight belt instead of on a stringer like some spearfishermen. The water was only about 75' deep
    and I'd been down for around 10 minutes when I saw a shark about 7-8' (not huge). The shark was making jerky movements and it really surprised me when the thing charged me and folded its eyelids down. It was about 18" from me when I jabbed my spear into it's nose. I can't remember being that scared. The beast peeled off and I didn't see it again, but my ascent was like a telephone cord. I'd seen plenty of
    sharks on prior dives, just none that acted like that one. It was a bull shark... very common for this area.
    Only in America.... could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

    Fishing is kind of peaceful. I don't mind that so much as long as it's calm and sunny.
