Video: Wild Barracuda Jumps Into Fishing Boat

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Bill-Bass

If a picture may be worth 1,000 words, a few seconds of video may be worth a book.

Gator Attacks Fisherman in Kayak

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Bill-Bass

The incident at a lake in central Florida was caught on video

No, it wasn’t in salt water — but the message is the same: It’s probably not a wise move to bring a small dog out on your kayak in waters where alligators are present.
