Extremely dark out, must have been no moon that night. Anyway, I hear some quick rustling in the brush on the top of the drop-off on my left, then a huge splash in the water. I'm sure it was a beaver, but it took much too long for my brain to decide it was anything other than a big alligator. I knew it couldn't be a gator, but it sure SOUNDED like one! 🥺 Ugh. But would you admit to screaming like a little girl? You don't have to tell us if you don't want to Dave. We understand.

We understand. It was over 20 years ago...I don't recall screaming at all. Nor do I remember if the water around me suddenly got warmer. This past weekend I was fishing below an unfamiliar dam. Very very close to it, in fact. I wasn't aware they blew a really loud horn when the flows were about to change. It happened twice in the few hours I was there. Startled me big time, both times! bfishn 1
