The little known legend of Talquin Maggie…….Lake Taquin was made in the late 1920's to supply hydroelectric power to the surrounding areas. It was named for the cities the lake lies between, Tallahassee and Quincy. Lake Talquin was formed by the construction of the Jackson Bluff Dam. The abundance of dead trees and stumps scattered about are the reminders of a rich floodplain forest that covered the area before the lake was formed. In addition to flooding the forest, they also flooded many homes. One of which belonged to an old lady named Maggie, who later became the subject of the legend of Talquin Maggie. Maggie refused to vacate her homestead even though plans were to flood the valley. Efforts were made to forcibly remove her but all attempts failed. Finally Maggie hid out in the woods and eluded the authorities for weeks until they thought she had left the area and they proceeded with the flooding. Several months later a local logger found a book labeled MAGGIE’S JOURNAL. After reading it he took it to the authorities. It seems that Maggie had returned to her home as the flooding began, and after making her last entry in her journal, she tied herself to the tallest oak tree she could find and to this day that’s where Maggie rests. The legend is, if you fish anywhere near that tree you will hear a woman’s voice saying “ dem’ Monroe boys are gonna kick your butts”
As Paul Harvey would say...And now for the Rest of the Story.... SpeckleTater didn't finish it all...The legend is, if you fish anywhere near that tree you will hear a woman’s voice saying “ dem’ Monroe boys are gonna kick your butts iffin they find out how much bigger Talquins fish are compared to theirs....Then one day Ole TnT and Hooker was running from Rawhide and we ran up on Chuck Auten doing what we thought was "meditating", but he was actually talking to Talquin Maggie. We were all amazed when she told us this... "Too much time has passed and it is time that those Moronians were taught a lesson. Let all of the state know what Talquin Maggie has known from the beginning. My spirit will be with you all on March 10, 2012. After "dem" boyz go home with their tails tucked between their legs, then I will finally be at peace with my soul"........We aint seen or heard from her since, but Hooker is headed down this weekend to that old tall oak tree down by Sally Creek to see if he can communicate with her one more time before next Saturday......And now you know The Rest of the Story!!!!Quote:

too bad this is going to end soon
Old 65Volkswagon was fishing right off that point where Maggie has rested in that oak tree all these years just last November. I'll bet she made the wind blow on him just knowing he was a Monronian at heart..RoflRofl

Phantom I am in with a side bet-friendly of course:highfive
After reading all the post about the big fish at Monroe I went to bed and fell asleep. Dreaming I had died and went to Heaven and met St Peter at the Golden Gate. He said “hooker you have told many stories about large crappie at Lake Talquin……..Before you can enter the Golden Gate, you must first take the large piece of chalk, (6 foot long and 12inches in Diameter), climb the ladder to the chalkboard, and confess all your Tall Tales (Lies). I threw the piece of chalk over my sholder and started climbing the ladder. Suddenly something hit my hand......looking up, IT WAS SPECKTATOR GOING DOWN TO GET ANOTHER PIECE OF CHALK.
We should pass the calcutta hat at the captains meeting. I'm up for a side bet...
This is how Talquin men take care of TALL TALES by the way rawhide followed him to that spothttp://blogteeda.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/medusa.jpgRoflRofl by the way you know i love ya sam

Here's the proof...they are doing a movie about Talquin. Unfortunantly it's a comedy. The scene they leaked out was rawhide fishing. That goes to show you even the Hollywood peeps don't take those boy serious!!!!!RoflRoflRoflRoflRoflRoflRoflRofl
Even the fish know more then the Lake Talquin Powder Fishermen.Attachment 83293RoflRoflRoflRoflRofl:biggrin
The only way them Talquin fish moved to Monroe is when 65Volkawagen put em in his minner bucket (the one he claims was stolen) and drove then to Monroe...Course he couldn't put but 1 fish in his bucket cuz them Talquin fish are HUGE...He thinks he is starting a new breed of crappieRofl
You are absolutly right little firecracker. I could not fit one more in therenonono because the other 8 wouldn't make room for it. rotfl:crazy:Quote:
