Oh, and I did manage to catch a few good size bass and pickerel as well!
when i was growing up there was a story of how a couple went to have a picnic (beside the Charles river)
and spread a blanket to lay the baby down then walked back to get the basket and beverages....

as they turned around to walk right back a huge snapper was observed dragging the baby into the river never to be seen again...
afterwards...
the Police used huge hooks baited with chickens and cable i guess and hauled out a large number of huge snappers
then shot them with shotguns to check stomach contents for baby parts.

i think you were lucky to be on that side of the river
