ADDENDA to Post 13470036, above,
After "the boys" brought a VERY large & ANGRY female Tiger alongside last Spring, I came close to quoting a famous line from JAWS by Roy Scheider, as "Chief Martin Brody": "You're going to need a BIGGER boat."
(That afternoon, I feared that she was going to be "in our laps".)
Before the next "shark-hunting season", we will have a MUCH larger/beamier, I/O-powered, open utility, with "higher sides" to keep the toothy critters OUTSIDE of the boat.
(Years before we met, Tex had a juvenile Tiger end up aboard the boat, where the shark took a bite out of a boat-seat & ate a tackle-box, before "being escorted off" of the interior.)
Sincerely, DarlaG
