Monday, May 18th, didn’t disappoint either. The conditions were perfect, calm, cloudy, and humid with an approaching storm. My friend, Kelly Grimmett, joined me hoping to catch his first striper. Pictures will tell the rest of the story. One of the greatest fishing mornings ever!

May is a pretty magical month fishing when the conditions are right.

Mitch and Stephanie Bloss were celebrating their one year anniversary. I had the privilege in helping them mark off another bucket list item. Catch a Beaver Lake Striper! It didn’t take long Saturday morning, Walking the Dog with a Zara spook topwater. Stephanie lost her Striper to a tree. So I took them out the next morning and on the last cast she caught a good one!

K-Cove Connections — An Early 70’s Story
By Steve Knox

Looking back to the early 70’s, camping was simple.
A tent, sleeping bags, a little food — and we were happy.

During that time my family lived in Muldrow, Oklahoma. It seemed like we came to K-Cove almost every weekend. Sometimes we brought friends to share in the fun.

One weekend, my dad invited Jerry Underwood and his family. His two boys were about the age of me and my brother. Jerry and my dad worked together at the Regional Education Service Center in Sallisaw.

Jerry’s oldest son, Phillip, decided to climb the big rock in front of our camp. He fell and had to be rushed to the emergency room. Thankfully, he survived.

Here’s the interesting part…

Jerry had a younger brother named Stephen, who married Carol Shatswell. They had four children.

One of those children would later become very famous.

By now, you can probably figure out who. 👀

🌅 K-Cove Happenings | October 2025 🌅

What a beautiful month it’s been here at K-Cove! 💍✨

This October, love took center stage as Mike Wells and Pamela Jones tied the knot right on the Big Rock Deck — surrounded by family, friends, laughter, and a breathtaking lakeside view.

With Pastor David Knox officiating, it became more than just a ceremony — it was a powerful moment of renewal and hope. ❤️

What makes this even more special? Mike and Pamela are officially the first couple in the world to be married on the Big Rock itself! 🌍🪨

Both have walked through many trials in life, and seeing them stand together, smiling beneath the open sky, reminded us all that love truly conquers all.

Here’s to a month full of joy, togetherness, and unforgettable memories at K-Cove! 🌾🍂





The Road Back

When he was twelve, the world broke in two.
The yellow bus had just rattled away, its exhaust still hanging in the air, when the screech of tires filled the afternoon silence. He stepped off the curb with a backpack heavier than his shoulders, and the automobile came too fast, too close. The impact spun him like a rag doll, and then there was nothing but black.

The hospital became his second home for weeks—beeping monitors, white walls, and the faint smell of disinfectant. He learned the names of nurses, the feel of IV needles, and the slow miracle of bones knitting back together. The doctors said he was lucky to survive, but when he looked in the mirror at the boy with scars, he didn’t feel lucky.

Years passed, and the pain didn’t leave—it only changed shape. He discovered pills that dulled it, powders that blurred it, and needles that made it vanish for a few hours. Addiction became his closest companion, whispering promises it never kept. One mistake led to another, and soon the bars of a prison cell replaced the bars of a hospital bed.

Prison was different. Time was measured not by the changing seasons, but by the clang of doors and the scrape of trays. In the stillness, he found himself face to face with his worst enemy: the man in the mirror. For the first time, he saw what he had lost—years of chances, years of living.

But prison also gave him something unexpected: clarity.
He began to read again, to write again, to pray again. Each day he tried to build a little discipline, a little hope, brick by brick.

When he finally walked free, the world was bigger and brighter than he remembered. The scars were still there, but so was a new hunger: to make the rest of his life count.

And then—when he least expected it—he met her. She wasn’t perfect, but she was real. She didn’t look at him like a man defined by his past, but as someone still worthy of a future. With her came laughter, warmth, and the startling realization that love could heal what even medicine and time could not.

The road he had walked was broken, jagged, and cruel. Yet every twist and turn, every scar and stumble, had led him here—to the one hand he could finally hold without fear of letting go.

He had been hit, he had fallen, he had nearly destroyed himself. But in the end, he found what he had been searching for all along: not escape, but love.

In Loving Memory of Janice “Jannie” Oals

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear K-Cove family member, Janice “Jannie” Oals, who left us on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

Jannie and her husband, Wendell, built their home here on K Cove and moved in just two days before the major tornado storm of 2024. Through it all, Jannie’s warmth, laughter, and genuine spirit made her a beloved part of our little community. She found joy in the simple beauty of life here and cherished the friendships she made along the way.

In true Jannie fashion, her family and friends honored her wishes by celebrating her life with a backyard BBQ — a gathering filled with love, stories, and smiles, just the way she wanted.

Jannie was loved by many and touched the hearts of everyone she met. She will be deeply missed, but her kindness and joyful spirit will always remain a part of K-Cove.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Wendell and the Oals family during this time.

Memorial Weekend 2024 will definitely be remembered. Especially by those who experienced the tornadic winds Sunday morning. Thankfully, none of the structures or docks belonging to the K-Cove family were damaged. Here are some pictures of the downed trees that were blocking the road. Friends, Family, and Neighbors came together and did an amazing job clearing a path to allow people to get out.
