And, while we're on the subject, did you know that sea bass are considered a ferocious fish? Yeah.. They say that.. But I don't think I'd be able to wrap my mind around one thing from another.. Except the pain of shark teeth ripping at my flesh.... | Re: Stingray Attacks Reported Along Delaware Shore

If I were, I would just be closing my eyes and praying to God that it be a fast death!!

Apparently people have lost fingers and chunks of flesh from sea bass. Crazy, but tasty indeed. | Re: Stingray Attacks Reported Along Delaware Shore

I hate being the one to take the hooks out, but nobody else will. They're so afraid of that tail.
When we let them go, then they're all freaked out about getting near the water. "That sting ray is probably still there!" No he's not. He just had the most traumatic experience of his life, he just had an alien abduction, you think he's gonna sit around in the same place?
But I still have to be the one to go out and do the sting ray shuffle and make them feel better.
"It's not here anymore guys. It's gone."
lol.
Poor misunderstood sting rays. | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Pythoness For This Useful Post: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
