When I was younger I used to be a bass fishing fanatic and did a lot of wet wade fishing in florida and I got to say these things are the real deal and are very un nerving to say the least as they are not afrade of anything and have a brain the size of a pea and tons of big teeth.. I saw a huge cotton mouth swim by me about as big around as my arm with a small muskrat in his mouth and right behind him and closing fast was a large gator which ate him with one gulp, stopped in front of me and cheeeeeeewwed him up then slowly swam on . I was waist deep casting a johnson silver minnow into some eel grass so I reeled in my lure , turned around and shi# my pants.....Frank
