What have ya'll seen?

I saw a big alligator in the back of Williams that was huge but that is a long ways from Birch.

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 saw the Columbia Shuttle on Fayette County that fateful day. I thought it was a meteor.

I was fishing a couple weeks ago and found a prop suck in the top of a stump. Shaft from the gear case was still in it and the prop was solid in the tree.

I was fishing below Inks lake one summer afternoon. Fishing was great as they were discharging water.
I heard the sound of young people screaming and then the sound of something heavy made out of metal skipping/dragging along concrete/rocks. I look up and I see a pontoon boat full of teenagers hitting the spillway and then turning at a 45 degree angle. Thankfully, it stopped just like you see in the movies sort of seesawing teetering with the front third of the toon over the spillway. Then I see the kiddos all jump or step off the boat in a panic and run along the spillway to safety.

[quote=
a UFO over Pond Creek at Ray Bob this April, around 5pm. Silver sphere that made strange movements and then zipped straight up and out of view. I've never seen anything move that fast.
[/quote]

I saw the same thing on Lake Tyler. Was running out of a cove to the main lake. Looked up and saw what looked like a silver ball. It moved out in front of me and then turned into the next cove where I happened to live. I expected when I rounded the turn to see the sphere moving up and away from the lake. But when I got there the orb was long gone and nowhere to be seen. And I'm not sure I even believe in UFOs.

Night fishing Palestine in the 70's Heard something running through the woods got light out an saw an armidillo jump into the water. We sat there a few minutes and wondered what made it jump into the water A moment later it surfaced in the shallow water and ran into the woods on other side of the cove

On Tyler fishing a point with a carolina rig made a cast at same time a crane was flying by ............ crane flew into the cast and had weight wrapped around neck. the adventure really begain when I had to UN-wrap the crane from my carolina rig while holding the beak of the crane.

in the late 70's saw a big stick near the bridge on Hawkins the saw the shell of a HUGE turtle Have had many tell me they have seen this HUGE turtle also.

Fishing BPS series (Grapevine) years ago when Scott Gordon ran em. We got there
Really early and ran to the back of Twin coves to see a light (boat). Wondering
How anyone got there sooner as we got there as early as possible.
As the sun comes up we noticed its not a bass boat. As the sun got up higher
It was two chick's just hanging out . I mean hanging all the way out!!! They both had no
Bras on (possibly naked) and didn't care we were back there. I have a witness. LOL


Till this day my buddy calls BS.

I have seen that turtle in the back of Hawkins. Dang thing nearly scared the heck out of me when I looked down and that thing looked as big as the deck I was standing on. Have seen the gator back there too.

My dad and I were out fishing at Ray Bob back in Spring Creek we had 2 of the little 1 man plastic boats and just working around the cove. My dad had a rod over side trying to get cat fish, well he wasn't paying attention and over the side it went.. about 20min later I am work my way over to the same spot trying my luck for some bass using a Texas rig, I feel a bump and a fish take off with it start reeling and it felt super strange I get the fish up and was like "HAY he has a hook and some line in his mouth" pull the hooks out and start pulling in the line that was in his mouth.... you can guess what happened pops rig was attached to the other end and we got a solid 4lbs cat out of the deal.

Fishing Grapevine Lake last year I saw a diamondback water snake that had to be every bit of 5ft long never seen one that big till that day.

I know I saw a UFO but I think it is just that: unidentifiable, in nature, purpose, origin or otherwise. Any assumption of what it could be is just a guess

Had a guy hook a giant crappie in 40 foot, he was overly excited and reeled it in as fast as he could. Came off after a few cranks. I told him it was huge and slow down…maybe 10 minutes later the fish belly up a few foot from the boat. Netted her- Air bladder was hanging out of her throat. Can’t recall what she weighed but it was over 2.5

Broke off a jig I hand tied on hook set. About a week later and a half mile a way I caught a fish with my jig in the roof of her mouth and a few inches of my braid hanging out of her mouth. What are the odds.

This pic was glade early spring—
