Creature from the Black Lagoon...

I remember seeing that movie on Saturday mornings as a kid and it freaked me out (at first). That 'creature' all slimy and black coming out of the water to get it's next 'victim.' **shudder**

Anyway, we have our own creature or two that make wakes in the water as they swim. Hubby and I are pretty sure it's a HUGE catfish living in the pond behind our house. We were sitting out on the patio last night enjoying the gorgeous June weather and noticed a lot of ripples in the water. We went down to investigate and saw that something big was swimming around in circles making wakes in it's wake (pun intended). So, Hubby gets the fishing rod to see if he can catch it. It bumped the line a few times, but wasn't all that interested in being caught. He did catch a very pregnant catfish, which he released back into the water.

We'll keep watching - maybe it'll make another appearance.
