Hey Cat or Todd, was the Finding Bigfoot crew anywhere near you in WV? My 9 yo son and I are fans and watch it from time to time. Thought of you when they shot in WV on the new episode - sure is beautiful country! They caught some weird calls on film...spooky. I figure a man with as many stories as Cat has, he might have one about a run in with a Squatch? Do tell!

Have you met Todd, or seen pictures of Todd before?

There have been quite a few reports from around Lake Texoma. I figured it was probably Lusk.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Have you met Todd, or seen pictures of Todd before? That was my first thought too. I Googled it and came up with a 5k race that Squatch runs in, here in WV every year. Anyway, I missed that episode. But, it could easily have been one of my other friends that look like Squatch -- and they sure can make a racket after they have some of Tim and Tickle's juice.

TJ, back in HS I had some friends that swore up and down they saw a "big white hairy thing" walking upright below the dam at Yankee Hill lake one night, they said it was at least 7 feet tall and that they could cleary see it in the moon light. This was long before any of us had ever heard of a "white" colored Bigfoot. I was there but still gathering my fishing gear at the car when they saw it, they were really freaked out by it and wanted to go home. I wish I had actually seen it myself, it was long gone by the time I went over and looked. Yankee Hill lake is maybe two miles from your pond so maybe we should be talking about finding Bigfoot in Nebraska, maybe even at your pond.

Todd can smell Crown Royal from 2 miles away.

I'd forgotten that my younger son worked with Billy Willard for about 10 years. Billy is quite serious about Squatches. He actually seems like a pretty normal dude until the subject of Big Foot comes up. Years ago, we built a little cabin on five acres on the shores of Lake Anna, right near where Billy lives. Lake Anna is a 13,000 acre lake built in the 1970s to cool a large nuclear power plant. City people from the Washington DC suburbs and Richmond, VA flocked to the area for vacation homes. I think it was 1978 or 1979 when we had a massive outbreak of 17-year cicadas in the Lake Anna area. If you were in a forested area, like the area where the lake was built, the cicadas were nearly deafening at night that summer. One neighbor family from the DC suburbs came down for a weekend camping trip to their new property. They were convinced the noise from the cicadas was due to aliens and UFOs attracted by the power plants. They never came back, and they sold their property. Anyway, still no Squatches seen here. But, I gotta get a set of these shoes for use around the pond edge.

I've got a sasquatch story that happened to a buddy of mine. And although I never saw the creature, I did see some peculiar footprints.
Certainly not conclusive, but enough to make you look back over your shoulder now and again.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Supposedly, you usually smell one before you see one.

Certainly not conclusive, but enough to make you look back over your shoulder now and again. Amazing the number of stories of encounters from Police, Military, etc. who are trained in observation. Either everyone is hallucinating or lying. Seems a reach.

Either everyone is hallucinating or lying. Seems a reach. I believe, in large part, this is due to the producers of the show. They want their story to be as believable as possible so they'll get interviewees who the general public would deem credible.

Thought of you when they shot in WV on the new episode - sure is beautiful country! They caught some weird calls on film...spooky. I figure a man with as many stories as Cat has, he might have one about a run in with a Squatch? Do tell! I finally found where they think Squatch lives here in WV. Squatch has some real class if he lives in that area. The local resort charges $500-2000 per night. It is where President Eisenhower planned to hide out if we were expecting a nuclear war. Supposedly, you usually smell one before you see one. If he/she is at Greenbrier -- think essence of Foo Foo! It won't be the same smell as when your dog rolls in roadkill and fish guts. Yeesh. I guess the winter doldrums have hit the forum again!

I am familiar with the NE sightings already. Scoff all you want, when you guys see me walking into PB 7 convention on the shoulders of a Sasquatch you're gonna owe me bigtime.

As far as I know the my Yankee Hill story has never been reported to anyone other than a few friends right after it happened. The funny thing is I had never heard of "white" colored bigfoot until I saw a few episodes of finding Bigfoot last year.

Shorty, I think you're talking about the Yeti.
Again, have you met Todd in person, or seen pictures of him?
He is white.
