6-24-07 We are blessed with another great day. I venture out in the early morning hit some of the back bays and immediately start slamming the northern’s Almost every cast, nothing huge but a few 30” it was a blast! We decide to go to the picto’s and see warrior hill as we cross LLC the wind pick’s up and we turn around . Then we plan on seeing them in the morning before we move to Iron. This evening there is a major mayfly hatch, fish are surfacing everywhere. Then we see what seems to be very large fish launching themselves out of the water, they are everywhere they are 2’ to 4’ long. Then we see this form rise out of the lake, its dusk and I take a closer look and it’s a snapping turtle at least 3 feet long we name her nessie. I still manage to catch a batch of smallies this night. It’s 1.00 am and I am sound asleep when I woke up to TCW kneeling on my chest yelling WHAT’S THAT! SOMTHINGS TRYING TO GET IN! I remove her from my chest and proceed to start swinging and kicking my legs after a few seconds I find my flashlight and shine it on the door, we just had the screen shut so I could see outside, I see nothing I try to settle down TCW but she’s convinced something’s out there. When she lays back down she starts yelling again and says its under the foot of her sleeping bag I shine the light and I feel something under her bag I start to pummel it into submission, then I stop and take a closer look and realize that during the initial attack I had beat her thermarest and it blew up like a balloon it was at least 17” tall, I start to laugh hysterically TCW isn’t so amused. She says she’ll wake me when the sun comes up, I didn’t tell her at the time but I did hear something, but a mouse can make as much noise as a bear. So I fall back asleep.
