Super User deaknh03 Posted September 12, 2012 Super User Posted September 12, 2012 Alright..... So say you are fishing in Cali, from the shore, right before dark...... when suddenly, you have one of these guys run up and bite you on the @$$ ! That might get your attention pretty quick, huh ? LOL Got to watch out for the Mandrils Peace, Fish On a related note, I was fishing after dark, and Barbara Mandrell swam by my boat humming a tune. Quote
Highhawk1948 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Neatest thing for me was a bull moose swimming by while fishing a remote lake in northern Minnesota. Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted September 12, 2012 Super User Posted September 12, 2012 My worst case was on trout trip in southere Missouri, at the Rockbridge Rainbow Trout Farm & Gun Club. Cool name, eh? Neat place. Fishing a run downstream, drifting a San Juan worm into a nice bunch of fish. Had my legs a little farther apart than normal, balancing on two rocks, with the hem of my shorts about 2 inches out of the water. Felt something hit my shorts, looked down and a cottonmouth fatter than my wrist swam right between my legs. I froze, scared spitless. Still gives me a major league case of the willies thinking about it. He kept on going downstream. A very big brown snake in the water in front of me, and almost a big brown trout release behind.

A very big brown snake in the water in front of me, and almost a big brown trout release behind. So what's normal. That big brown trout...Did you keep it? Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 So what's normal. That big brown trout...Did you keep it? Normal? Probably a Barney What's-his-name "wide stance". That species of brown is not kept, simply dropped and released. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted September 13, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 13, 2012 Redlinerobert - Fishing in the amazon huh? Thats awesome. Something most people only dream about. Im sure you've seen tons of cool stuff. Highhawk - Thats great. Did you see the news article about the moose that got tangled in swingset? You can find it on youtube. A cop ends up freeing him. Ghoti - Definitly dont wanna keep those trout. I hear they taste terrible. Great responses everyone. I've really enjoyed reading them. Keep em coming! Quote
cheezylotus Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 had a water moccasin try to get in the boat with me a couple years ago while floating down the warrior river. killed it with the paddle, had to get a new paddle after that trip, as it was pretty beat up. i didnt stop swinging until i was sure it was dead! and then had to scrape snake guts off the boat.

Scorcher214 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Except chipmunks there is nothing friendly about those evil little rodents. Especially if you try to pet one. One time while on vacation, I had a couple chipmunks that would let me pet them and jump up onto my lap an take peanuts from me. Funny cute little guys if ya ask me. My favorite kayak spot usually has swans, great blue herons, big snappers and other turtles, and muskrats. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 Funny cute little guys if ya ask me. No, they are the devil's henchmen. Evil little creatures. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 No, they are the devil's henchmen. Evil little creatures. I still remember that first time we went fishing on lake alice with them running all over you expressed your hatred for them multiple times haha Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 here seen this the other day for you chipmunk guys especially you john Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 I have one of those Have-A-Heart traps. Once I catch one, I drop it in a bucket of water. I hope that peanut is laced with strychnine. Quote

Super User slonezp Posted September 13, 2012 Super User Posted September 13, 2012 When I was boatless, I spent alot of time fishing the lakefront in Chicago. Big rats and homeless drug addicts litter the lakefront during the early morning hours. Quote

CoBass Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Mountain lions..... Me too. I was fishing for brook trout way up in the Rockies and had that weird feeling like I was being watched. Looked up and there was a mountain lion sitting on a rocky ledge on the other side of the creek looking down at me. When he noticed me looking back at him he just casually got up and walked away. Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted September 14, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 14, 2012 that 'being watched' feeling has to be pretty sketchy when your somewhere with large predators. lucky for you he was on the other side of the creek. Quote
guitarkid Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I saw a legit liger today. Wasn't fishing though -gk Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted September 16, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 16, 2012 never seen or even heard of that. had to search google images. if i didn't get so many results, id swear you were making it up. thats awesome man. where did you see it? im assuming a zoo. doesn't seem like something you'd come across just walking down the street.

Fish Chris Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 On a related note, I was fishing after dark, and Barbara Mandrell swam by my boat humming a tune. Ha LOL This is Yaho Mandrell, from the San Fran Zoo Fish Quote
