70 people hurt by attacking fish

[tombanjo]

Reminds me of a summer day around 8 years ago right in close to the beach at Seaside. A real three ring circus with the ferris wheel spinning, people in the water, six large party boats nose to nose and a huge school of giant blues boiling on top in a feeding frenzy. The people were actually swimming towards it with the life guards going beserk screaming GET OUT OF THE WATER!!! and blowing their whistles like banshees. Man, nothing spooked those fish. They just kept swimming by like squadrons of B-52's.

Just goes to show how stupid people can be... I realize of course that blues don't eat people.. However, when they are in a feeding frenzy, and someone gets bit and the blood starts flowing into the water etc, who knows what may happen on any given day..
the water belongs to the fish and other sea life... We are the intruders, and sometimes carelessness comes with a tragic cost... bob
