My buddy and I were fishing a small lake I belong to last week. We got out there at about 4 AM and loaded in the scamper. As we started fishing, I saw a yearling duck swimming about 15 yards in front of the boat and all of a sudden it sounded like an explosion! The duck was gone. No sight of it anywhere. This didn't sound like a fish coming up and hitting a topwater, it was more like a huge flat rock dropped vertically in the water and made the kerplunge sound. Nonetheless I got the heck out of there, not knowing what lurked underneath. What was this a state record bass? catfish? turtle? I don't know but it scared the piss out of me. Next time I am thinking about taking my rubber duck and sticking a big ole treble hook on that sucker. Didn't Heddon make those way back when?
