In the mid-1890s a fisherman went out on a pier to pull up his set line and discovered he had
caught something awfully large. He hauled the line back with great effort, finally pulling up
something with a large head. It had wide-open eyes and huge jaws. More than that he didn't wait
to see. He believed that his escape had been narrow, given the creature's mood. Swimmers
avoided that part of the lake for the rest of the season.
