In the beginning of summer, I bought a kayak.  A Perception Captiva.  She is 16' long, a hearty vessel.  And today, I encountered a rumored beast of the depths (or shallows in my case...)

In Kentucky today....Ah...but I digress...Kentucky.

Kentucky.  The Bluegrass State. Horse country...



Kentucky.  Land of the Genetically Homogenous...



Kentucky, whose license plates flaunt Unbridled, Perversive Faggotry...



Kentucky.  Horses, and Grandiose Perversion.

We, here in Kentucky, are also blessed with areas which are quite demonstrative of its Perversive Underbelly.

Big Bone Lick State Park...

And, its nearby town....Beaverlick...

And while not quite living up to the perversive theme of Kentucky, there is also the curiously named community of Rabbit Hash.

Rabbit Hash?

Anyways, I put in at the Big Bone Lick Boat Launch.  I paddled my way to the Mighty Ohio River on a utterly pristine day.  Clear skies, temperatures in the low 80's.

T'was my first time navigating this area, recommended by a friend.

T'was at the Ohio River Inlet that the terror unfolded.

Upon approaching The Ohio, there were numerous markers directing the Fancy Folk in their powered craft (of deeper draft) where to navigate their way out.

Being of quite shallow draft in my Hearty Vessel, I elected to cut across the markers into shallow water to save time.

The water was quite shallow indeed.  Nary a foot in depth.

My horror lie ahead.

So, as I paddled about with nary a concern in my mind, I had noticed a shadow laying off my starboard, which I thought to be a fallen log.

Nay.

The sonofabitch frothed about and breached twice.  T'was here where I uttered....

"Uhhhh......Uhhh......AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH  FUCKSHIT!!!!!!" in a most girly fashion.

Here I was in a foot, or less, of water and I realize in an instant of utter clarity that I have encountered one of the fabled Gargantuan Catfish of the Mighty Ohio.

I shit you not, this thing was huge.  At a VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE it was over four feet long.  Probably closer to five.

In the aftermath, I was briefly disgusted at my pathetic response, then continued on a nice tranquil exploration of the Mighty Ohio.

That is all of my harrowing tale.

Thank you for your time.  All comments and inquiry welcomed and encouraged.

Hey, you forgot that your state's initials are "KY."

YOu forgot about "Blue Lick" state park and the Licking river.  I think Blue Lick is what happens when Big Bone doesn't get licked enough.

Bumped, as I feel this was delegated to the second page WAY to fast without more interesting commentary on my adventure and insights into Kentucky's culture.

Why didn't you draw your fightin knife and take him?




Worried about the pile in your pants I suppose.

Nahhh, underwater bumpfire.

You were too scared to get pictures? This thread is worthless without pictures.

Who needs a knife, just grab it and fillet it with your hands like normal

I'm pretty much disapointed in my own "death scream" AND I hope that I wont be remembered by it when the time comes . I heard it only a couple times and I'm telling you it does not inspire confidence .

If I can manage it , I will try not to scream like a sissy boy when the time comes . (But I know I will)

Bumped...

As I feel way too proud of this post given what I feel to be really creative, melodramatic prose, as well as keen illustrations.

...As well as an attempt to attact more attention to myself and my generally silly posts on this site.

Enjoy, or loathe.

i just had milk come out my nose..

haahhaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaa

genetically homogeous...
omg...

the post rocks for use of the english language..

So, what happened to your kayak?

You need this, seriously:  Book

Apparently there is a Knob Lick Kentucky.  You might check to see if they have a creek and see what happens there.

Yeah, and he watches the old Jetsons episode, just for the dog's name.

did you noodle it?

Any report of catfish over 36" in length should be accompanied by photographic evidence.


(Or a dinner picture.....)

I think we had a 190 lb catfish caught in a nearby river a few years back.  It was pale yellow, probably ate cats and dogs.

Hey wait a second are you trying to be funny?

I had a beaver try to get in my solo canoe...  Whacked him with my kayak paddle.

He didn't try to lick me though


GM

General Sherman?

Excellent thread!

Tag for hilarity!

This should have been in the gay friends thread.

I thought it would be at least a 30 foot long crocodile........Ahhhhh! the suspense only to find out it was a catfish.  

This should have been in the gay friends thread.
