BTW I do have an after "collecting" story . My father
had caught 2 notherns from my grandparrents farm swamp
pond . They were put in a cow tank alive . I was a
little kid . They were being kept fresh for the next
days meal and they did just fine . very lively . Next
morning I got up early to play with dads fish .I tried
to pet them . One of them clamped down on my index
finger . Blood flowed . Nowadays it probably would
have rated stiches . I got 3 bandaids . 50 some years
and I still have a small scar on my index finger .
Does that count as a tank attack ?
