Went fishing once while attending Signalman A school in Orlando FL. They had a lake on base and figured it would be a good idea. Went to the rental place on base and rented some really nice gear to go fishing. Was really excited about catching some of the Florida strain bass. Got on down to the lake and saw warning signs everywhere for gators. Landed a few bass and then hooked into a good one. Got it about three feet off the bank and the water swerved and this big gator took my fish and my nerve. Ran like #ell. Had to pay for the gear but told the lady at the rental place there was no way in #ell i was going back to get the gear. Kind of figured out real quick why i was the only one down there fishing.
