Jake,
You created a wonderful story with just 100 words. You made concise, economical use of the word count.
My paternal grandpa from Italy was an excellent fisherman. He almost always caught the limit, fished alone in the woods until he was 87, and every time, he made steak of the fish. Lol
Great entry, Jake.
Blessings,
Cindy

Nice response to the prompt. It reads like an old fishing tale told around a campfire. A great twist at the end that made me smile. The big one still lives on in the lake and in myth. Well done.

    thanks for the comment. I did think of this as a tall tale told at a campfire on the lake.

Well, no WONDER he's "the big one" when he's probably made a career of enjoying human steaks on an ongoing basis!

Very fun read, but the title and subtitle spoiled it for me a little bit by giving away your fantastic ending. It's such a perfect flash-fiction premise; but hold onto the surprise until the very last sentence.

    Hmm how about I change the tittle to simply the Big One?
