I watched a documentary on “Pepie” Lake Pepin’s version of Nessi from Lock Ness, or Champ from Lake Champlain. I found interesting. I love these sort of documentaries. I am not saying that I believe them, but anything is possible. Like Bigfoot or UFOs or Et’s. Any thoughts? Anyone else viewed this program?

The year was 2011, I believe. I was out off pigs 3-waying some creek chubs. The water was super low that summer…Off in the distance I saw something hairy…So I grabbed by bino’s thinking it was pepie…Nope…Turns out, it was BK fryin’ up some spam on the flats.

I was in the bar having a soda pop the day they brought that beast in.It was a Thurs.i believe,about 4:30.
I had heard of the ongoing battle to subdue it but thought it was Bud and Tud on another bender.Maybe some other non-prescription drugs,ya never know.
I heard the loudest screams and cheers out side so i stepped out to see what the fuss was.I could’nt believe what i saw but that damned thing on a trailer.I could also tell the boy’s had been on a good bender.
We all celebrated till the wee hours of the morning and the rest is history as they say.
Had to look at that critter alot back in the day and it ain’t any prettier in person.
As far as sea monsters,nope don’t believe in them.August 11, 2022 at 5:52 am #2140763EP there every where on that stretch of the river.They are nocturnal and very seldom hunt before midnight.

August 11, 2022 at 6:50 am #2140771“3-waying some creek chubs” meant something entirely different when I used to go up to mudfest in Hillman
