True story about the Harris Branch pond right off of 290. I used to go fishing there occasionally. Wasn't supposed to, but did anyway. Catch a few bass, cats, etc... One day I was fishing in my spot when I noticed a funny looking log on the bank about 25' away. Thought nothing of it at first, but I couldn't get the log out of my mind. Something seemed odd about it. It was dark brown and black looking about 3' long and as thick as a football, and shaped liked elbow pasta, at least the part on the bank. For some reason the log didn't seem right, so I picked up a rock and tossed it at the log, nothing happened. Still not convinced the log was a real log, I threw another rock, this time hitting the log. My "log" moved and slithered into the pond heading my direction. I nearly **** my pants! I grabbed my fishing gear and hauled *** in the opposite direction, the whole time looking to see if my "log" was going to surface. It never did, and I still have no true idea what it actually was. My first guess is someone let their pet snake go at the pond and it became monsterous in size. Still think it could have been a small gator or some other reptile, but I don't know for sure. Never have been fishing there again, and that was probably 7 years ago.
