Okay, I'm going to read you some stories from a book.

This book is authored by a man named Rob.

He says he recently published a book.

It's titled Campfire Tales from Uncle Rob.

He says you can find the book on Amazon, that's Campfire Tales from Uncle Rob.

And he claims that every one of the stories in his book is true. So I said he published it

recently. I don't know when I got this email. It could have been a year ago, but I'm

going to read these stories. It's really good. So let's start with the first one it's called

the Pond Stalker I used to spend a lot of time fishing on farm ponds back

when I was younger there were ponds like that everywhere and many of them actually had

water and good fish in them. But today finding a farm pond with good fish is like being struck

by lightning, only not as painful. Most of our ponds have dried up due to drought. Healthy

farm ponds are their own finite ecosystems, fish like largemouth bass and

cropy and channel cat and bluegill thrive in these ponds but aside from that those ponds are a stable source of water for animals both wild and domestic

And sometimes they are a source of water for the stranger creatures of this world.

Literally, they're places where the things go bump in the night.

A few years ago I was fishing in one of these ponds. It wasn't especially big but it was still a pretty good size.

It had a marginal population of bass and a nice community of Cropy, and though I had not witnessed it, I was

told there were even a few channel cats lurking in the depths. My friend Terry and I decided

we were going to do some night fishing to see if we might tangle with some of those mythical catfish we had heard about.

We had seen some crawdads and water dogs in preparation for bank fishing that we were planning.

Just before dark when we got there, we quickly set up for the night.
