How about a guy running a tin boat as fast as it would go (25 MPH) to the back of Flat Creek on Lake Palestine without ever hitting a stump. I was amazed.

I am pretty believable (that was the joke in my post) but I saw the Columbia Space Shuttle coming apart from a public ramp on Cedar Creek. I did not know what it was at the time but on the way home the radio was talking about it so it was a believable story.
On the lake that day, almost half the way up the lake around the golf course I looked up while fishing a brushpile and saw an F16 coming directly at me at no more than 200 feet high. As he got closer he turned over on his side and I guess that was to look at something he saw in the water. I could clearly see him as he went over.
I am wrong but you can not prove it, you just believe it enough from the bottom of your heart.....
.......Every post you make I'll be trolling you.

Had an eagle fly out of a tree and right over me one early morning on Waxahachie Lake. It was smaller than the few I have seen farther north. I was in the kayak and everything was silent. Scared the daylights out of me how loud it came out of there. Never knew they came this far south.

Saw a dead whitetail buck in the shallow water on the back side of goat island on Athens one day.

Sasquatch, unicorn, leprechauns, lochness monster and a black panther. Saw a large 3 humped snake looking creature about the size of a 2 Clydesdales surface about 50-75 yards from me on Lake Toho, at dawn, roughly 20 years ago. Gone before I could take a photo. No BS, not high either, etc.

Here's a list of what I can remember...
1) Rolled into a cove where a couple was getting intimate. Dude looks up, she doesn't as her mouth is full, he gives me a thumbs up, as I hook a 3 off the point. AHAHAHAHAH 2) Snake ball on the rip rap with over 30 snakes intertwined...actually have the picture to back it up 3) Casting when a storm is popping off down the lake, your line floats and never hits the water (Some have seen this, some have not) 4) Caught a 6 point buck on a Bandit 200, buck was dead as you can guess

I have seen a few bass boats run all the way to the back of flat and it’s pretty wild! My dad and I saw someone in a skeeter run right past us all the way to the back in the dark one morning. I saw several do it this year in the Brandon Belt tournament too and even saw one guy run so far back I couldn’t see him when he shut down.

The weirdest thing that I’ve ever had happen to me was in October of ’22 on Lake Tyler.
My buddy and I were flipping an outer grass line going into a creek and out of nowhere this massive bang sound goes off and we kind of flinch really fast. We had no idea what was going on. Well, there is a bald eagle and two osprey above us squawking like mad and I figured one of them dropped something. Well I go back and look at the footage on the GoPro and the eagle had a turtle and the osprey wanted it so they were fighting over it and the eagle dropped the turtle from like 40-50ft up and the turtle landed on a sheet-metal type dock roof. It was pretty crazy.

Have seen that giant turtle in birch about 6 years ago, its head was so big we thought it was a stump until we got right up on it and it went down. Dad still talks about that dinosaur.
Have seen so much stuff. Top 2 craziest, a mid sized yacht crashed on the bank at lake grapevine in early 2000's and was still running full steam. Don't even think we had a phone, went to twin points marina to turn it in. Turns out the guy was hanging on to a no wake buoy a few coves down. Helicopters and all showed up. Marina manager said.. You boys sure did cause a hill of beans, can still hear it
Few years back up in a certain canal on eagle mountain, in a sketchy area a meth head goes running into his shanty screaming and screaming. Well a few min later you hear sirens. Full squad of sheriffs show up watch them all get AR's and come after.... ME LMAO, kid you not had wife with me too. He told them a boat pulled up and 5 men got off with rifles and were coming after him. One sheriff asked if i was armed. I looked him right in the face showed him my flipping stick and said well i have been known to be pretty deadly with this thing. Everyone got a great laugh and mr meth got arrested.

A dead goat caught on t-rigged worm on Bastrop.
Also on Bastrop, buddy was fishing alone and heard underbrush rustling. Looked up and had to rub his eyes. Llama staring at him.
Both instances were in the Boy Scout camp.

brother and I were sitting in the back of a creek many years ago, when a big buck came crashing through the brush and jumped in the lake right in front of us maybe 10 yards away...he was sideways to us and didn't seem to care we were there...then the blood started gushing out low and behind the shoulder - someone had stuck it with an arrow, we watched it bleed out, it started to stagger and plop right in the water, was amazing...we yelled up into the woods for a bit "hey your deer is down here in the water"... we kept on fish'n for a few hours, came back and deer was still there, we yelled a few more times - nothing, gutted it and washed out the cavity in the lake and into the boat it went...can't let good back straps go to waste I always say...
Maranatha !

1. Saw a bobcat pounce out of the reeds and catch a coot on Fayette County.
2. Saw a feeding white pelican come up with a coot in its bill on Fayette near the discharge. The coot eventually kicked free and left in a hurry.
3. My son and I witnessed a huge alligator eat a smaller (maybe six or seven footer) alligator on Choke. I have video of this one. It was an incredible site I’m not likely to ever see again.
