Todays POD reminds me the 1st time I saw a big Snapper in the Q. For some reason I thought the cooler Northern climes prevented turtles/spiders and other critters from getting to the size you'd associate with warmer temps.
I was wading barefoot, casting from shore in about knee deep water. I looked down in the clear water and my first thought was that somehow a hubcap had found it's way in here :-?
Then I saw the " hubcap" move slowly up about a neck length from my exposed toes :o
Needless to say I existed the water as fast as I could.
I wonder how many paddlers newbies or not realize what might be watching them when their wading barefoot or skinny dipping ;D
Adds a whole new meaning to the redneck fishing technique called " Noodling" :'(
