There is only one thing for certain, and that is ... nothing is for certain. If true, it is false!

Used to live down by Katchewan. My dad lived there as well since WWII. He told stories of people drowning in Lentman's lake (he called it the old Barr Brickyard Clay pit) and divers going down to look for the bodies and coming up scared to death because they would come face to face with catfish big enough to swallow the divers.
Had details like it was so dark and cloudy down there being so deep that they could barely see their hands in front of their faces.
He was not one for telling stories or exaggerating but who knows now. He had worked at the Barr Brick yard for a period of time as well in the 30's I think.
When I was kid, we would have someone in the neighborhood catching catfish in the river by the pits in the 30 pound range every year. Saw those with my own eye's. Some of those we would hear came from the pit but people did not want to fess up to it because they weren't supposed be fishing there. Afraid they would get fined.
