Tunaman attacked

[tunaman]

Two nights ago, I was fishing for bream and the water was like a bath. Enjoying the cool night air and the sounds of silence, and standing in knee deep of water, when something came out of the deep and rapped its self around my calf muscle. Ather jumpping around and smashing the water with my fishing rod, I found it was a sqid. And you,d think it would of got the message and swam away, but no, it came back for another bite. Iam glad it wasnt a blue-ring.

a show on sbs yesterday had the same thing happen to the presenter,, he was handfeeding an occy when it gave him a friendly and looooooong cuddle around his diving mask and then,, after you would think he had enough,, later in the show he was handfeeding giant squid,,,,,,,marvellous to see what size bite these things take out of a whole mackeral,,,,especially when your hand is only an inch away

[seajay535]

reckon i would have come close to needing new jocks if all nice and peaceful and that happened:o

[finga]

just lucky you were fishing in knee deep water and weren't having a nudy swim :-[

[tunaman]

[kingtin]

GOTCHA!;D Come on mate, own up............you went in for a pee. I read somewhere that cephalopods are attracted to urine;D Think yourself lucky you weren't in the Amazon............they've got a nasty fish in there that swims up your urine trail and lodges itself in your plonker:o

[gunnabuild1]

Tunaman always topping your last post aren't you!!!still laughing.

[PinHead]

I can only imagine the terror...of the leg being grabbed and wondering what the hell it is..of the thoughts rapidly going through the mind of all things of peril and danger..of thoughts of injury, illness and , dare I say it, death...just innocently doing what you want to do and then this happens and your thoughts turn to all things horrid...and I wonder what you were thinking also tunaman.

[Owen]

ROFL
I'd pay money to see that

cheers,
Owen

[major-defect]

As if we don't have enough to contend with here while fishing ,crocs,sharks stingers,rays etc now we've got to look out for squid.

[2DKnBJ]

Think of the money you can now save on squid jigs....

Cheers Dazza

[sandbankmagnet]

exactly Freeeedom.

Where was this? Did you have any bait on your leg? Did you wiggle around beforehand? Do you have to shave down for it? I need to know about this new squid catching technique!

Maybe you were lucky it wasn't waist deep water hey?

[skippa]

just lucky you were fishing in knee deep water and weren't having a nudy swim :-[

ROFLMAO ... ;D
But that's a mental picture I didn't need ...yuck .. :-/ ;D

Daz, I reckon I'd want a bigger squid jig but ... ;D

[dogsbody]

I wonder if the squid said "hey he tastes like tuna" and then proceeded to have another crack.

[tunaman]

;D Aussiefool. I think I might know what the problem was. I used a hormonal scent spray and maybe i got some on my leg. Maybe it was just being friendly. Its eyes might of been dialated and maybe it had something else on its mind.;D

You sure do have some strange encounters out there man! ;D Ya think it's bad luck or is someone up there gunnin' for you?

[Dirtysanchez]

Come on mate, even squid need some lovin from time to time, it wasn't humming a Barry White song at the time was it ?

I can see the new ad now on the TV.. John West, buy the squid that Tunaman rejects !

[Nic]

It seems many cephalopods are bold creatures, nothing seems to faze them. A mate of mine once caught an octopus during a tournament and, for fun, thought he'd put it in the big tank at the weigh-in area. He said it calmly went about disguising itself with bits of coral and then, when it was happy with its camouflage, it snatched a passing bream and started scoffing it. My mate hastily took the occy out of the tank and put it back in the sea. It clutched its bream the whole time, and when it was back in the water it started munching on it again. Don't think I'd want that thing wrapped around my calf!

[tunaman]

I have heard that bodies that have been floating around for a while in the sea, have had bite marks dew too squid feeding on them.
Iam quite sure it was looking for a tuna sandwich.;D

El-carpo. I dont think god is watching me, more like the anti christ.;D
D\s it was doing whats come natural to it. I think.;D

Seriously people, I can only guess how many of you have had something crall over you in the night, and all I can say is, that I nearly turned white with fear. I,ll think twice about standing in the water again.

Tunaman i think i just had one of those moments i was sitting here reading your thread when something struck me in the back of the head and lots of noise jumped up to see my cat had brought in a bird and let it go just behind me.Anyone need some crab bait.

[tunaman]

Blooey. Mate! at least your cat moves. Mine just lays there all day. its lucky if it gets up at all. But it did move this morning, only coz it had to take a crap.

Tunaman, Are you sure you weren't groin deep in water with your squid jig floppin around? hehe.
Would of loved to have seen you dance!!!

[Obi _ Wan]

Bloody Hell!!!!!! Just what go you say???? Tunaman, are you OK? you appear to have many more drama's than most. I have been watching this post for a few days now, wondering where it was going to end up, thought at one stage it was heading for the test board, but you are still here!
After being monstered by a Tailor now a squid is having a go at you, very lucky mate that it's not the brother of the one they have at underwater world.
I think i know just what your problem is!
Being the owner of Dr Who's boat and being able to travel in time back to central Australia 10 million years ago, you claimed you did! Going back to the Sudan and rolling in your flea bitten camels dung, jaming poddy mullet, sorry you called them potty mullet, maybe they were a little off, into empty wine casks.

I think all of the above has changed your DNA, you are now possibly a walking, talking, Berkley Gulp.
Don't go near the water and use plenty of deodorant.

Cheers,
Obi_Wan

[stark]

Had that happen to me with a big eel years ago. Haven't you learned to walk on water yet? I did that night!

[tunaman]

Stark. With all the movies and doc,os that tell us or scare people, its no wonder fisho,s near jump out of their skin when something crawls over our feet / skin, its just the thought that something may hurt us or sting us or even worst, eat us. Take no chances, run like hell.;D ;D ;D

I get a bit flighty near ramps and rockwalls in calm saltwater Tunaman. Seen far too many (ok, 3) stonefish caught out of cabbage tree creek, for example. Truth be told I'll probably step on a syringe first.

Have to get myself some of those loose legged running shorts in a dark colour

[-Henno-]

Mate I competely sympathise with that. I have had multiple occasions where I have needed the brown jocks. It happens all the time at work when I'm crawling through somebody's roof and I get the spider web round the neck in the dark.

It also happened in Tasmania to me when I was surfing at a pretty remote place on the west coast by myself and one of those really long kelp seaweeds brushed past my leg. I was hovering over my board mate! That was a case of requiring the brown wetsuit.

Never been sucked on by a squid though. What a cack!

Mate., and I hope you ever do, cause these things bite.
