...Al, you fell right into his trap!!

We always wear sandals around the lodge. I've yet to have an asper so much as try to bite feet after we've caught it and were taking pics. In fact, I've yet to have any larger aspers even strike at us while bagging them. I don't let anyone wear sandals while walking the trails or hiking, that is a no-no, but once we're hanging out around the lodge, sandals are the norm. This asper was no different than any other we've caught over 4'....calm as a church mouse. THey run like banshees, but never once struck. Again, unless you step on them, they're reputation of being absolute nightmares is somewhat overrated. Yeah, they have their moments, but they're generally very easy going.

BTW....that would be my flip-flops on the left.
