Just When You Thought It Was Safe...

This is a perennial news event in this part of the world but this has
to be the most serious injuries I've ever heard of from this type of
encounter with this species of fish.

The lake where I swam as a kid had one of those floats
on top of a bunch of 55 gal drums out in the deep water.
To get on it you'd throw one elbow up, then the other and
kick. Bluegill would take shelter from the sun between the
drums and sometimes when you had both arms above your head
they'd dart out and attack your tits. Dark circles against
ghostly white must have looked like food. Damn that hurt.
Would have been worse had it been muskie instead of bluegill
I guess. ;-)
