The boat ramp in the town I grew up had many “missing” vehicles rolled into the Ohio.

It's gonna take a lot of river
To find that lemon of a car I owned
It's gonna take a lot of river
Running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio,
Gonna take a lot of river
To wash that rust away

A friend of ours growing up was a diver and he had to go fishing cars out of the rivers. You would be surprised how many still had bodies in them.

Let me add the guy even lived on a house boat on the docks near Oakmont. So yeah he lived the real life Bruce Willis. :D

@sbb122 , @FaCe-LeE-uS and @dare2be can attest. If you grew up in Pittsburgh you just knew, never ever go swimming in any of the rivers.

To this day I gag a little at seeing people jump into that water.

There are people who fish in those rivers and eat the fish they catch

Ugh

there is a lake called Stump Lake in BC where you can rent cabins. My brother reserved a few for my Stag. You can fish for Rainbow Trout, Kokanee, and Prickly Sculpin which my friends did. I just drank and boated around a bit... They brought some Rainbow back and we came back a little late and saw they were cooking some before we could tell them that the area they caught those in also served as the sewer dump as we took our boats past where they were and accidentally found it. they were commenting on how funny the fish tasted when we arrived and we had to tell them.

man that was gross to see them eating that

Part of the reason I say no thanks to crawfish boils or crawfish in general from New Orleans.

This is all the watershed that flows down to the Mississippi River and through New Orleans. Just imagine all the sewer dumps, waste from mills, dead bodies, treatment waste from sewer systems that flows through the delta.

And Pittsburgh is just the tip of this whole thing.

Scuba diving in the Chesapeake played a major role in me not eating seafood of any kind.

Seafood is disgusting

Was having a conversation about lobster once with a friend. She was going on about how she loved it.
I mentioned to her, think of it this way. It is a bottom feeder in the ocean that eats all the fish shit, puke, guts and whatever crap we throw overboard.

I think to this day she hates me for her no longer eating lobster. :D

I tell my seafood eating friends this all the time. They still eat it.

I fish, but don't keep what I catch unless someone requests it, because I don't eat seafood.

It also was poor people food and dirt cheap. Even the fisherman wouldn't eat it, they mainly fed it to prisoners and livestock. Then rich people from New York started traveling to Maine and the locals convinced them it was a delicacy so they didn't have to eat it and could afford better food.

I think also the British used it as waste food for all their prisoners they dumped in Australia.
