 The two men were fishing for bass and channel catfish, when they saw the monster jump out of the water after a fish which Case had pulled up. The first sight of the creature led the men to believe that it was a huge eel, but is second appearance was mora terrifying. The thing dashed close up to the boat after one of the captured fish. It had long horn on its snout and measured about six feet in length Its general facial appearance was like a catfish. except for the sharp horn. II was the horn which cut Kinney,
 The strange visitor managed to crawl over. the bow of the boat before the occupants could recover from then anlazement. It impaled a bass which was lying in the bottom of the boat and then went overheard again. AS the creature slid back into the water it peat it's tatl which seemed to have sponge like qualities, so fiercely thai the air was filled with fine spray that blinded and drenched the fisher men,.
