Spying the glowing orbs of a huge frog, I turned the boat sharply to the left. Immediately, a
silver missile almost 2 feet long arced into the boat, violently ricocheted off the gunnels six or

It seems, at least judging by most of the responses to last week's blog, that most guys take the "hey, if they're here might as well hunt them" attitude to invasive species.
