Five Maryland residents vacationing here say they had a close encounter with Champ, Lake Champlains lurking legend last week.
"I was born in Champlain. I never believed in Champ or the Loch Ness monster," said Bob Gload of Crofton, Maryland. "I believe now."
Bob and four of his grandchildren were enjoying a quiet Wednesday afternoon of bass fishing.
At around 3 p.m., he piloted his 1962 Crestliner to the middle of the lake, partway between Point Au Fer and Isle La Motte, Vt.
Gload, 10-year-old Russell Crim and 7-year-old Kaylee Gload were near the stern, facing Isle La Motte. Matthew Crim, 10, and Taylor Gload, 12, were on the boats bow, facing Chazy Landing.
"We heard a seagull crying. It was flapping around in the water about 150 yards away," Taylor said.
Matthew yelled there were three muskies trying to get a seagull, alerting Bob.
"I turned around and saw that explosion from the water. I saw three humps, two- to three-feet tall, about four- or five-feet apart," Bob said.
