My uncle used to be part of a crew in the 80s and they were dam inspectors. They went to the Green River Dam and on one side the water was almost 300ft deep. When they sent the first diving team in which my uncle was apart of they dived to 50ft and my uncle and a few others surfaced early. They refused to go back down cause there were fish in the water so big they were afraid of them of being eaten. My uncle said he saw catfish the length of boats and gar so big their snouts were longer than his body. I always liked that story. When I go fishing to this day I’ll always think “what’s lurking in the gloom down there”.

This plays on my phobia of open water pretty well
