The craziest things that tried to get in my boat were in Texas. I was fishing a shallow to 40' dropoff channel in the middle of the lake for stripers and Blue catfish catching well, I caught something swimming about one hundred yard's from me dern it looks like a cat, as it got closer, I saw it's big ear's, it was a Bobcat swimming straight towards my Bass tracker wanting out of the water. There I was all my rods set out and anchored down. I jumped up pulled everything into the boat and lowered the motor trying to get onboard.. Once I a good distance from the cat he swim's on to shore. What in the heck would make a Bobcat cross a big open lake?! Dog's chasing it or whatever.

Don't think I'd want that kitty in my boat.

The only thing that ever concerned me was a rattlesnake on Falcon Lake. It was dispatched with the edge of a paddle. Just Sayin...RJS

Wow, that's crazy! I am not proud of it, but it had to be done. This turtle was stuck on our Lake drain.
