What's the scariest creature in freshwater? Not counting divers!
Great diving beetles are commonly, and more aptly called, Water tigers. They will hunt and kill almost anything they can get. They strike with a piecing bite and then inject toxin into their victims. This poison paralyzes their prey. The Water Tigers then suck the helpless critters to death. If you've got the stomach for it...you can watch it for yourself! Enjoy? .

If you've been following the last few posts (feel free to catch up if not!) then you know shad face a lot of dangers. Hunters are after them day and night. If they don't watch out they can ended up pickled. And there is the ever present danger of snagged fishing line. Unfortunately, this is common enough that we now carry needled-nosed pliers in our dive vests so were prepared to help

This week’s clip features a gargantuan school of gizzard shad. While filming, Greg noticed a glass jar on the river bottom. It was stuffed with shad. Apparently the fish could not back out of the jar! Greg was able to get the first two out by pulling on their tails but the third fish was too small to reach. But Greg found a way to save the day…or at least the fish! Near the end of the clip the school of shad is so thick, they literally block out the sunlight. The unknown bounty of the Great Lakes enjoy :)
