Off topic: Steve Irwin "Crocodile hunter" is dead

[Jaxfishgyd]

We catch a LOT of rays here in the St Johns River... (NOT the size that killed Steve) mostly 1-4 lbs ones, but they DO have the stinger.... They can sure pull the drag though. I will unhook them, using plyers if just hooked in the mouth, otherwise, they can keep the hook.

you can easily avoid getting stung if you know how to walk.

Hey JB, that's what I'm afraid of. Seems like when I visit your part of the country, I have a hard time walking right.

I can see the local Roane County News headline now: "Local Businessman Killed By Stingray Enema While Walking Drunk On FL Beach".

Say something nice about me at the urology, would ya?

CHICKENBIRD you got me all confused slow down read the post and then reply you got me thinking theres three attacks now?? one at atime there bubba

Okay LRC, read the posts again, slowly, with your language conversion book, and stick out one finger for every attack you read about.

1. Steve Irwin, messing with things he shouldn't have been messing with, dead.

2. Old dude minding his own business gets harpooned in the chest while on his boat, nearly dead.

Now, here is the confusing part, don't add up the numbers in the columns, or you'll get yourself confused again. It's 2, not 3. Comprendo amigo?

El slowo downo large amigo. The original thread started with Steve Irwin's demise. While I was typing my two cents worth, the post about the old guy got posted. When I saw that one, I put in two more cents.

Now, let's recap. Two attacks, one dead, one wounded, four cents.

Comprendo Bubbamigo?

When I lived in Naples Fla. back in the 60s. They caught a ray off the city Pier. It took over 24 hours to land it. They had a team of people taking turns at the rod all through the night. They needed a tow truck to haul it off the beach. It weighed almost a ton. If they would have caught it today it probably would have been a world record. I don't remember the stinger size. I do have a picture some were. I don't know what they did with it. It was big.

Last week at a downtown St Pete marina, A gator leaped out of the water and tried to get a Labrador retreaver a lady was walking. He missed and the gator is now a handbag. But geez between a bullshark killing a man swimming off his dock a couple miles from here, now gators charging the dock.
Then Bills monster ray story, I am afraid to go near the water!

It is called entering the "Food Chain", it is amazing how out of touch we get with reality. Wild animals are still king, unless you keep a sharp lookout and are packing a .44 magnum. Darwin is still at work. Just like the Duke (John Wayne) says:"life is tough, it is tougher if you are stupid" LOL
