We don't have a shark problem in Southeast Florida.

The only music I hear is from my DIY speakers plugged into my iPhone.

We do have alligators and crocodiles though. Pissed them off pretty badly last time we went kayaking in the Everglades by running over a bunch of them sleeping with my kayak. |shocking|

I thought you had to watch out for the Pythons in the `Glades these days!

They have become an invasive species.

I've never seen them but I mostly do ocean and near ocean waterways.

I saw a guy at Sunset beach that had been diving for fish hauling ass to the shore while a shark followed him, he ran out of the water up the beach and the shark swam the length of the beach in water so shallow, 1/2 his body was out of the water while people jumped out of the way.

I will never forget that. After that dive, I started diving with an inner tube that had a cooler we could put the fish in, so we were not trailing blood.

Although being a vegan so many years, I can't even imagine fishing again.

I dove for 10 years in Hawaii, sometimes almost daily, and I never saw a shark while in the water, thank God.

I've seen sharks in the water, plenty of them, but almost all of them have been Nurse Sharks which are pretty much harmless.

The scariest shark encounter that I've ever had was a really huge Reef Shark that swam up to me, looked right at me and then swam away. I'm still pissed that it was one of the few times that I didn't have a camera with me.

The scariest thing that has ever happened to me was getting lost in the Everglades at night on my kayak and getting lifted out of the water by a bunch of alligators or crocodiles ( don't know which, maybe both) when I paddled over them in total darkness.

That would freak me out so bad, I don't know if I'd ever kayak there again.
