I grew up loving water, any water. In Florida there was lots and I played in all of them.

But now, I’m in my 50s, I just can’t anymore. I think of what’s swimming down beneath my feet, looking at my legs like they are hanging grapes. (shudder)
I go in pools only now (and yes, I look in there first)

Back when I lived in Fla people fished for sharks for fun and killed every one they caught. That kept them more in control.

In saltwater there were no licenses, no limits, and no rules or regulations on anything. Shooting sharks with a rifle was A-OK.

The entire state population was less than 5 million though.

The only regulation I can remember for freshwater fishing was bass had to be 12 inches and the limit was 10 a day, there was no closed season.

I grew up surfing. Dangling my legs in the water for hours...and saw plenty of sharks. I was young and stupid.

Now I wouldn't even get in the ocean deeper than my ankles.;-)
