nothing freaked me out more than going out to fish on a boat and I caught something thinking that I was reeling in some great dinner and up comes a sting ray

Also harmless. I've been surrounded by them. Just don't start panicking, be careful not to touch the tail and don't step on them.
 
Sting rays and bat Rays don't taste that bad .. Then again I only eat the fins and toss the rest

I agree though,if the shark really was loking to eat the dude things would've been a lot more ugly way faster. It looked like it was just trying to see what the surfer was since they tend to look like pinnipeds and other prey from an underwater view

Repped for this. Surfers out there looking exactly like sea lions.

"risk comes from not understanding what your doing " - warren buffet
 
I dont know of these "average" ocean or lake undercurrents that suck you down you guys speak of
 
I use to do a lot of free diving/spear fishing. Some of you would be surprised how often I've seen sharks near beach swimmers. All you have to do is be smart about being in the water. Don't go into water when it's cloudy and visibility is low. You can't see them they can't see you and there's only one way for them to investigate.

Word. I remember a time I went to the beach when I was like 10.

Out of nowhere I feel something and I look next to me and there's this gigantic purple jellyfish floating right next to me.

I'm talking like a giant round birthday cake sized thing

Didn't set another foot in the water that day

Googled giant purple jellyfish and it pretty much looked like this but extremely big:

Maybe sharks ain't about that getting peed on life and you'd be good.

On a semi-related story, my brother was at the beach and was in the water. He thought it was a good idea to just pee in the ocean. Nope, he said his seimming trunks smelled like pee for the rest of the day.
 
I wasn't even talmbout the parasites in lakes :lol: so yeah.... ***** a lake b joints are vicious
 
/\ I never under stood this either. If you can't swim... don't take ur dumb *** out to shoulder height water.

It's funny why lifeguards be blowing the whistle at me when I go way out past the breakers. Jus swim parallel to the surf and wait to ride the tide in. It's funny watching people tryna fight the surf. One thing that terrifies me though is rip current. Half dozen ppl every year die around here from drowning in one.
 
Jellyfish can be such a pain in the ***,literally too :x :x.

I'd rather try my luck against a small shark than come face to face with one of these bad boys :x

Jumping on a plane to get from point A to point B at a more effecient rate is completely different than jumping OFF a plane for the sake of exhiliration. Going through "random" checks, boarding the plane, and finally flying on the plane make life adventurous enough for me.

There's sharks in the city, B. And I'm not talking about the aquatic creatures either. Street Sharks. In every hood. You treat em the same way you would treat a marine shark. They won't mess with you unless you pose a threat, or if you look like food.
