Notice how all the eNCKAounter brothers are all over this thread?

Wouldn't want to try and DX any of you,  but I will go out on a limb and say,

 To get eyed, chewed on or doing any kind of a tap dance with an Apex predator that wants to eat you....

  Just might bring on symptoms of PTSD,   

The trick is to talk it out, especially with those who can relate, and start to turn that tide to PTMI,  Post Traumatic Mild Inconvenience.... 

Again,  I'm just a hack....  Be well guys and glad your all still here

Good advice. While I may have been chewed on, she was the one that got "eyed". Also known as the  "sharky twist" amongst my hometown surf crew. I often wonder if there is a gw swimming around out there with a bad left eye.
I just hit a kinda weird milestone. I was attacked when I was 22y and 6mo old TO THE DAY. Just had my 45th birthday. That means I've been on extended play for as long as the original game.
Like I said. Weird.

Saw this on facebook posted by one of the guys on the JK Fishing Team....



Crazy!!!!

Sincerely,

Jim

uhhhh, no thank you.

Crazy is right. One thing that's different about it, the water there is so clear. Most attacks occur as mistaking identity, and our waters are nothing like that. Funny how he wasn't even talking.

He's got his priorities right!  First thing in event of GWS sighting - TURN ON CAMERA!!!!!

Friccin crazy. Especially with the clear water. Then you would know if it hit you there was no chance it thought you were anythign else. But man, no PFD, no buddies in site. And he just sits there quiet and no screamin, yellin, cursin, or pant-$#!!ting...

Yikes!!!!

i had to take a couple of "Calm Thyself Down" breaths while watching.....and then i shat me pants.

uh huh.
I kept muttering "its just checking you out, just checking you out, no need to panic, just checking you out"

loved the blip of the paddler's face right at the end. yeah dude, my eyes would be the same.

Guys name is Shawn Zenor.

I'm 1000% positive I wouldn't have been able to stay so calm...

Sincerely,

Jim

I am surprise that he's brave enough to stick his hand in the water... 

I think I'd be taking the day off from fishing and have a beer after that.
