My bayou fishing buddy Picture

[Tight Line]

I posted this on the LA board but decided to share it with the rest of yall.



I ran into this guy about 4 years ago while fishing a small lake on a near by WMA. We hit it off well since he like to eat white pearch as much as me. The only problem was he didnt like to catch his own fish he just wonted to steal MINE .

The first day this happened I saw him loafing near by not paying him much attention I hooked into a slab and when that fish broke the surface here this dude came full throdle. Lucky I fish with 2 poles at the same time so as I desperatly drug my fish out of harms way with one pole I was swatting this cat with the other one. Needless to say I prevailed and got my fish and as I was taking the hook out I said to myself (aint nobody going to beleive this @$%#).

Well when I came back 2 days later I had a camera just incase my ol partner wonted to show back up. Well he did and it didnt take no more than a fish dinner to presuade him to pose for a few pics.

I figured yall might enjoy seeing this.

I know he is your buddy and all. Next time try waving a 45 auto at him instead of a fishing pole

I think he just wants to play.

Now that is funny.
I was nightfishing under a bridge this past summer. I kept seeing bubbles breaking the surface around the boat that were not natural to me. Didn't cross my mind until that beaver surfaced and slapped his tail... I almost jumped out of the boat. It really did scare me. I didn't think beavers swam in 40' waters but this guy was eating shad under the lights. I guess?

Thanks for sharing your pic and story.
