Mark Hackmack and a friend boarded an airboat on the northwest shore of the lake to fish for some sea bass. It was a foggy day, and the cloud cover had broken. 

They caught some trout and were just chatting when he caught a large sea bass while playing with the fish.

Mark happened to look up and saw a large bird-like creature emerging from the cloud. His friend saw it too, about 20-25 seconds later, he flew back behind the cloud cover. 

The strange creature was grayish in color with a predator profile, a short neck / head, no legs sticking out from behind, and no long tail feathers. Mark couldn't take his eyes off him. 

He estimated the total wingspan to be between 10 and 14 feet (3-4.2 m). It seemed to float in the wind, though he could see it swinging with two light "swings".

Mark Hakemack and a friend had taken an airboat out on the NW side of the lake to do a little redfish fishing. The day was kind of hazy, with broken cloud cover. They had caught several trout and were just chatting when he hooked up a large redfish while playing with the fish, Mark happened to glance upwards and saw a large bird-like creature emerge from a cloudbank. His friend saw it too, after about 20 to 25 seconds it flew behind cloud cover again. The strange creature was grayish in color and the profile of a raptor, short neck/head, no legs sticking out behind, and no long tail feathers. Mark could not take his eyes off it. He estimated the wingspan to have been 10′ to 14 ‘ in overall. It appeared to be soaring on the wind, although, he did see it give a couple of light “flaps” with its wings. The witness could only relate this to the legendary “Thunderbird” legend.
