Bathing with Piranhas

Fishing guide Denis Isbister was on a trip down in Columbia when the owner of the Lodge he was staying in suggested a bath. "We get back to camp and the owner of the Lodge said we should go get in the river and take a bath. I said what? We were just fishing for piranhas in there. He said they won't bother you. But when you get in shuffle your feet around in the sand so you don't surprise the stingrays. Needless to say the first couple of times were a little bit spooky. Any fish bumping on you would freak you out. So we were fishing for piranhas by dragging lures. One of our lures snagged on a log and one of my buddies just jumped into the river, got down to the log and got the lure off the log. A river filled with piranhas and stingrays and he said, no big deal".
