The misses was walking our dog at a lake that's stocked with trout. She was on the trail near the water when she heard a very loud body slam hit the water. She screamed. I told her it's a big bass feeding on trout in the shallows near the shoreline. She missed seeing the fish but seen the ripples in the water right after.

I hear these noises at another place were I fish around 9pm just as its getting dark. I guess it's pretty common at night to hear the bass breech?

It was probably bigfoot.

Beaver

The ponds I fish, when the water gets warm, has some pretty decently sized grass carp in them that feed right on the edge of the bank and spook very easy. Could be carp.

Nope. It was my mother in law.........

Beaver most likely

You're a tad far away from the southern border for this to be typical... But I'd put my money on a chupacabra.

Beaver

I hate when they sneak up on and they realize you're there and you don't and all of sudden WHAP......... gets me every time

Your mother-in-law is Bigfoot? 

I remember once many years ago camping in Oregon on a lake and we got up early to hit the water and started hearing all this comotion.  Well we sneaked down to the waters edge with flash lights and there were hundreds of fish by the bank.  Mostly trout....there were tons of bugs in the water next to the bank that the wind had blown up shallow threw the night.  The little fish were eating the bugs and bigger fish were chasing the smaller fish.  Was cool seeing the ol food chain working.

I'd be guessing beaver

There are some ponds around me that have some bruiser sized grass Carp up to 30+ lbs. They'll jump clear out of the water, and a 20 lb carp hitting the surface will definitely get your attention.

Another vote for beaver.

I vote carp.

Definitly was the government. Some man jumped out of a black stealth helicopter to see what you were up to.

My wife and I tried to hunt down a MONSTER bass in a large a cove at dusk one evening.... until well after dark....when the dang beaver slapped (a second time) about 15 feet away and I nearly fell out of the boat.  We so wanted to believe we were going to land a ten pound bass that night....lol
