When I was a kid, my grandpa was caretaker for a huge private lake (600+ acres) filled with blue gill, bass, very big pike (4 footers were common) and perch, we parked our campers there yearly and fishing was the main activity. Blizzard of '78 was crazy, something happened to the lake that has yet to be released, NASA closed the entire area down and brought in HUGE trucks with coverings so you had no clue what was going in...or out. They cleared the private, single lane track of the 20' + snow drifts, widened the lane so their equipment could get in and did who knows what...but there was a large hole in the ice, and dead fish everywhere. We never caught another fish there for years and years, still nothing much there but sickly looking perch. Was odd...our guess was a meteor fell there...or we had company. The ice was melted from the bottom up like something hot went under the surface and boiled the water immediately around the hole.
Fishing has always been a source of enjoyment for me, when my back was screwed up due to a bad driver, I spent whole summers (and winters LOL) on the lakes...live right next to a large sports lake and don't even fish these days, but will get the poles out again, no doubt about it!
