kfellmy Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I live on the Caloosahatchee River and get to fish just about every day. About once a week something big and dead usually floats by. Today's target wasn't big and silvery (like a tarpon). It was dark in color and didn't look like a fish. But I heaved my Zara Spook out there and snagged it. As I was reeling it back to me I realized that I had a dead body. There were two little kids with me so I got them the hell out of there before I got the body in close enough that they would know what it was. No pics were taken of this catch (eeeewwww gross).

Markell Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 That is something I hope I never have to experience. I am guesing that Zara Spook saw it's last day of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Being a firefighter/EMT it's something we see on a regular basis. Not a pleasant sight but something you learn to deal with. My wife calls me cold-hearted but after 23 years it doesn't even bother me. During a BFL Super Tournament a guy at the weigh-in fell dead. After 45 minutes of CPR we were unable to revive him. That's the way I want to go, fish all day, pick up my check, and drop dead. BTW....My wife had to go up on the stage and pick up my check!!
