Got my bell rung today

[ballfrog]

I was putzing along in about three feet of sludge this afternoon looking for balls and something big slammed me in the side of the head hard enough to make my ears ring - in fact, I'm still feeling it.

I sat up and looked around and right next to me floats a huge snapper, apparently more dazed than I was.  I looked at it for a couple minutes, trying to figure out which was the sharp end and it finally stuck it's nose up, about two feet from the top of the shell I was looking at. 

I decided I wasn't going to mess with either end and let it have it's pond back.
