Willard Bay Porky Perch writeup

[TubeDude]

That's the hair-pulling aspect of Willard. You can hammer the perch, crappie, walleye, or wipers in known spots at certain times -- and then those fish simply vanish. Can't be found ANYwhere. Sonar shows us vast areas of nothing but flat empty bottom. We know they can't leave, but where in heck ARE they?

Well, if you are into far out freaky conspiracy theories...how about the fish are really aliens and operate in their own space time continuum?  And they are programmed to act in the manner most likely to frustrate us poor gullible but optimistic anglers...appearing and disappearing at will...with no apparent rhyme or reason to their movements.

Makes as much sense as "they gotta be somewhere".
