Sunrise with a Moonpie

Posted by ken on March 16, 2016

Moon 2s.jpgI always carry my GoPro and Nikon on the water because you never know when, well when a Bigfoot may run across a cove in front of you or fall out of a tree or whatever they do on a daily basis. So the other morning on Rayburn I'm watching a beautiful sunrise when into the picture fishes Steve "Moonpie" Evans and I realize I don't have my camera with me, so I shoot this with my iPhone....and you know what, that actually may be a Bigfoot in a Triton.

Speaking of Bigfoot, I'm fishing in the 1215 area of Toledo earlier this year which has a series of islands through it. Two years ago, my favorite TV show Finding Bigfoot (which is very much like the Scooby Doo TV show with BoBo as Scooby and Ranae as Velma only without the Mystery Wagon) filmed an episode near Zwolle LA, which is maybe 10 miles from the 1215 area I'm fishing. About 9 that morning I hear a guy..or a Bigfoot, doing the really loud yell like they do on the TV show. I chuckle to myself and keep fishing. 10 minutes later he does another only this one is closer, another 10 minutes and he does another and it sounds like he's only a couple of hundred yards from me. Then all of the sudden on the backside of the island I'm fishing I hear something come crashing through the brush and into the water and I can hear it swimming. Now I know in my heart of hearts that it's deer this guy has spooked....but I'm just enough of a 12 years old, with cameras on board, that I crank up and run around there just to make sure, well to make sure I'm not missing the chance of a lifetime to film a Bigfoot...2 does and a fawn, i sat there for 5 minutes laughing at myself...but I'm ready when he shows himself and when I'm famous from the footage I shoot I'm buying a van painted as the Mystery Wagon to pull my Ranger with.
