Hi Bob I would say $100 bucks to strap a tank on is fair. Fill is $6-7, suiting up & un-suiting, gear cost, actual time underwater looking.
Pretty lame no nothing from the Musky guys. I see some very big turtles some (not tellin fish stories) almost as big as a coffee table.
My worst scare was in a smalll lake, I was digging an area and creating zero viz conditions. I was trying to create a current to clear my area of
the silt I stirred up. Slowly coming into view right at the hole I was digging is the "Biggest Snapper" 18" from my face. He seemed to be all puffed
up in a way protecting his area. I backed away, he didn't. Typing this now I just got a shiver up my spine! Normally in better viz you can see them, there's
a moment you and the turtle size each other up and then go your separate ways. I have been attached swimming w just a mask by a catfish getting close
to this moving ball of what turned out to be hundreds of baby catfish. I mist have got a spike in my foot, as it swelled up bigtime. If you see one stay away.
