FISH revenge

**ColoradoViking** · 07-10-2007, 02:49 AM

So I had a great weekend... did some tubing down the yampa river, saw a moose, did some fishing... I was sitting in a float tube fishing for largemouth bass and there were a bunch of bluegill swimming around. They were just hanging out and then I noticed they were getting closer and closer to my legs. I wasn't wearing waders and I thought that they were interested in my leg hairs maybe they thought it was a
kind of worm or something... then one of the bigger ones BITES ME!! The bastard latched right on to my leg! I kicked hard and it let go but it left tiny little tooth marks that bled a little bit.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening before?? What's next, is a musky gonna take my toe or something?? :-[ :'( ???

It's all part of the animal conspiracy;

I've actually been nibbled on by sunfish before while standing in shallow water.
Not to the point that I had to kick my leg to get them to let go though!
Just enough to make a guy yelp and jump backwards.

In my lake the sunfish will eat/bite anything. I have been bit many times by them. I had one bite my earlobe and hang on until I stood up out of the water. They are like little piranhas.
