[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 108153, member: 704"] I used to get a couple of these each year. Each time it was when Billy Bob, Bubba, Booger, and Scooter, each weighing in excess of 300 pounds, would get in a 12-foot jon boat to go catfishing. After loading in 4 coolers of beer and assorted fishing gear they would putt up next to the locks with a good half-inch of freeboard. Invariably something would happen that would capsize the boat, often Bubba having to take a leak (uh, not the boat, that is) and tipping it over when he whipped it out. Life jackets were never present as they would have taken up space that would be better used for beer. Being too drunk or never having learned to swim in the first place one or more of them would drown and gators being opportunists simply bellied up to the bar. I've never seen an actual gator attack although I know they happen. [/QUOTE]
