    Over Easter weekend Ido’s ColeyCrawler was fishing the Southern end of Lake Pepin with good success.

    Just as this photo was snapped, Pepi, the Lake Pepin sea monster showed herself. Unfortunately Coley’s cameraman didn’t have the V.I.O. POV.HD camera and couldn’t use it’s 10 second delayed loop to catch the whole creature on video.

    Coley reported the fishing took a dive after this photo was taken.

    Lake Pepin looks a lot like Antarctica

    But that’s just an observation, it’s been a while since I’ve been down there

    There aren’t any penguins in Antarctica.

    Pepi seems pretty camera friendly.

    So hopefully the saga will continue

    Funny you should mention that.

    As Coley was going through her weekend photos, she didn’t notice what was in the background when she snapped this photo of Jeremy Liebig.

    We need to get a hold of Lake City for the Pepi photo prize award!!

    The legend of Pepie

    Lake Pepin is the largest lake on the Mississippi River, over two miles wide and 22 miles long. It forms the natural border between Minnesota and Wisconsin and is located about 60 miles south of the Twin Cities. Surrounded by scenic bluffs and quaint villages, Lake Pepin is widely described as one of the most scenic spots in North America!

    The native Dakota people that lived in the area refused to travel on Lake Pepin in bark canoes because of the large “creatures” that would rise from the depths of the Lake and puncture the thin bark skin of those canoes. They would only travel on Lake Pepin in more stout dugout canoes that were made by hollowing out a large log.

    On April 28, 1871 “a lake monster is seen swimming in Lake Pepin” (Minnesota Almanac, published by the MN Historical Society). Since then, many people have reported sightings of an unidentified creature surfacing from the depths of Lake Pepin. The locals have given this shy and elusive creature a name; Pepie.

    Over the years the question persist, what is Pepie? Because Lake Pepin is almost identical in size and geography to Scotland’s Loch Ness (which is 23 miles long and 1.5 miles wide), many people feel that Pepie is a relative of the famous Loch Ness creature dubbed Nessie.

    Still others feel that the sightings might be surfacing schools of the huge game fish that are so abundant in the Lake.

    Last I heard the reward was $30k!!

    I smell an IDO posse coming together

    That might be the melting dog poo from the other post though

    Looks like Jeremy was floating aimlessly around lake Pepin on an Iceberg

    I also noticed he wasn’t wearing a life jacket
