Today on my morning swim, I got attacked by a bass

And I can honestly say that that has never happened to me before. And again to be honest, I've never even heard of that happening. I was swimming past the rocks, I saw this big bass, and then moving to shore I saw another one, and...then it came at me! I am so not kidding. I was kinda stunned, to be honest...I actually had to make a motion with my fist to keep it away...and then, it came at me again! After that I kinda decided I should really just swim to shore...and it followed me. You know, I was really shocked at this...but also, kinda impressed. I mean, I'm way way bigger then it...and it still came at me, you have to admire that, like, he (or she) was really determined that it did NOT want me there? Seriously, you gotta admire that. Well, now I am off to start my day...confused as ever.

I'm not sure that admiration would have been my first reaction.

@Drosophila definately, and you know I try and be prepared for random things...but who would have thought to be prepared against a bass attack? Well next time, I will be;).

Lol *giggles* im sorry but that kinda made me laugh it mustve been funny impressive and scary at the same time.. i too never heard of bass attacking people but in guessing if it was big enough its gonna be territorial to keep preys away.

Something is happening with the animals. They are acting strangely. I guess they just wanted you to get your bass out of there.

I always thought it would be cool to have a house with a moat in front of it. If I ever get one, I will stock it with attack bass, now that I know they exist.
