Possible nightime encounter while fishing at Mogadore Reservoir

17 August 2011 late night around 1am Mogadore, Portage County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were night fishing at a reservoir when they heard tree knocks and unfamiliar calls that seemed to get closer. They decided to leave and found one of two large catfish missing from the back of the truck, then the companion was struck in the chest by a small thrown rock. Frightened, they packed up and left quickly.
