i thought by the name and the history that our little mystery would be solved , but that’s not the fish . it was very informative thou , i had only heard of rumors of this fish before . the slim chance that the blue pike is still out there , well wouldn’t you like to be the guy that lands one ? i would , but then comes the question , what do you do with it ? collect the $500.00 and fame or put it back for repopulation of the species ?

on the 300 year thing , a young child was snatched and devoured by a cougar out west a couple years ago while she and her family were hiking a trail when she disapeared . d.n.a. tests were used to identify the childs remains in the fecies ( scat ) left by a cougar . the cougar was hunted down and killed and further tests done to positivley identify it as the culprit , a old large female that was suffering from malnurishment .\

the story was on nightline . they first thought the parents had done something to the child . that was the only reason it made the news .

animal attacks very rareley make it to the news . here in michigan a young boy was killed by coyotes after wandering away from his campsite in alcona county . (1998 or 1999 i think ) the story never even made it to the news papers . why ? , i don’t know . they do happen , they are just kept hush , hush for some reason .

that 300 year thing was for michigan, out west I hear about one just about every year.

I saw on the news this morning there was a report of a cougar grabing some ladies kitty kat right in her yard, she screamed and the cougar droped the kitty and ran off. If I herd it right it was some where here in michigan, (I was half asleap listening to the news)
