Lol that's funny, When I was a kid I use to catch them sunning in shallow water and spear them now I try to avoid them & most definitely don't want one nibbling on my toesGar prefer human bait. Wiggle your toes in the water, one nearly got me at Arbuckle lake that way. I was wading fishing with bare feet and one took a snap at me. I sort of levitated out of the water.
