Guess Who Showed Up For Dinner

I had very little luck fishing around Tyler County.
So I finished up my work yesterday and headed to Houston to drop off equipment.
When I'm in Houston, I sometimes try my luck in Armand Bayou.
It's a spot for bass, perch and channel cat.
So yesterday evening, after checking in to my hotel, I went down to give it a shot.
But they just weren't active and I couldn't get a hit on live or artificail bait.
So I sat back to enjoy the evening breeze and I looked up to see this little gator glide past.

That's possibly why the bass, perch and channel cat were nowhere in evidence.
They'd fled the scene.

Brazos Bend State Park, just slightly southwest of Houston, seemed to be infested with gators during our visit.
I would definitely discourage swimming

That would about do it for me.
In the summer of 1975 (I remember it fondly), shortly after seeing the release of the movie, Jaws, I spent two weeks in Seattle and the Puget Sound area visiting my sister, driving the fifty miles out to the Pacific Coast several times while there...
Not once did I or my children put even our toes into that ocean!

I have swum in the ocean on a number of occasions and I even believed my son in law for awhile. We were in Maui and were out whale watching. I was on a paddle board while I wasn't standing I was kneeling. He told me that there were no Great W****s in or around Maui. After returning home I was watching shark week and was informed there that great w****s migrate to Maui expressly for the birthing season of the hump back whales. So here I was out about a mile or two from shore with great white sharks in the water. Never again. Of coarse they also have tiger sharks as well over there. Haven't been back since then either do to costs of the travel and health problems.

I've been in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans since then, bahmer,
but by then the initial shock of viewing "Jaws" had long since worn off...
It's good you were able to go when you did and have the memories to savor.

I learned to water ski that summer after seeing that movie. Ill never forget the feeling I had when that boat pulled away from me in out in that big lake.
Needless to say, I was a natural at water skiing!

Needless to say, Archie, you could probably do the same today.
I once water skied in the Detroit River behind an inboard, - with giant ore-carrying barges gliding by, and I drank a fair amount of very d********g water that afternoon, but it was an unforgettable experience, and long before anyone had even envisioned producing "Jaws."
I lived in Detroit that year (1960), and saw John Kennedy at a campaign rally, before you were born, I'm sure.
