A very long time ago ( I must have been 10 or so) I was fishing off the old dock or pier, or whatever it used to be at Popko's (then) Resort...aka Casey & Lu's / Tutts. Underneath this piling was the usual tangle of logs and I would crawl out there, drop my line down in amongst them and catch Rock Bass and Perch. One day I'm fishing there and I get, what I think is a snag, but then it starts to move. So I'm pulling and pulling while visions of a big walleye dance in my head. Slowly I bring it to the surface where I discover it is a huge (well huge to a kid) snapping turtle. My bait rocketed out of his mouth about the same time he surfaced after which he sat there for a minute or so an hissed at me. I then beat a rather hasty retreat off the piling. The next day, I went back to the piling to fish, but never swam on that side of the resort ever again.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
