you guys got guts.....i know theres not much in the waters here that can hurt you....musky pike catfish and snapping turtles are the worse id guess.....but i just cant see getting into the water like that to fish.....just not my cup of tea i guess......i guess thats why im alwasy on the shore...and the guys in the tubes come back with stringers full......oh well....have fun and be safe!
