Any "Lake Monster" Stories To Share?

[SPKrazy]

I just remember that the area I grew up in (Northern Utah) had a lake called Bear Lake, and supposedly there was a "Bear Lake Monster"

just wondering how many lakes have "monster legends"

:popcorn: :shrug:

Mine's not legendary

I didn't even experience it firsthand - it was related to me by my parents.

They were canoeing on a smallish lake in S. Ohio and made their way to a fairly remote shallow area where, they told me, they encountered 2 snapping turtles "...the size of car tires!". These large turtles apparently began swimming purposefully towards my parents' canoe, so my parents hightailed it out of there to open water.

That's the closest thing I have to a "lake legend".

6. I caught a turtle that size...

I was fishing in a pond in Oklahoma with my grampa. Something got ahold of my line and nearly dragged me in with it. Took me, my brother, and my grampa to reel it in. It was HUGE.

3. I was mistaken for a lake monster one day last summer

My wife was casting her bait and the hook went into my back. That part wasn't what set me off. What got me yelling was when she realized she was hooked on something but did not know it was me caused her to try yanking the snag out with three hard yanks. I immediately broke into an involuntary Sam Kinneson routine.

Yeah, strangers looked at me like I was a lake monster as I shouted "What the fuck are you doing? Ow! Ow! Ow! Mother fucking ow!" But wouldn't you be mistaken for a lake monster too if you had a mother fucking fish hook embedded into your back?

7. She might have had spots.

It was kind of dark. I was kind of drunk. She could have been a trout. I was a confused teen.

9. This is getting out of hand.

I just realized I will say almost anything for a laugh. Your post reminded me of my first real girlfriend and the times we had at Lake Lansing. From there it just took a bad turn.
