Weirdest, or at least the funniest thing I saw was EDK fall out of my boat while trying to net a fish. I've seen an arrowana at Perris, a giant turtle that had to have been 2-foot across, also at perris and all kinds of other crazy stuff that probably just seemed like it was routine. The best though is when I use to do a lot of spooning at Success. This is one of those lakes that gets a lot of drunk white trash in rental house boats so the bottom is a junkyard. I can remember pulling up a lawn chair, which I kept by the way, an eight foot wide bamboo window shade, one of them roll up models. Enough shoes and underwear to make Al Bundy proud not to mention I was spooning the lake the day after this dude drowned, and in the same area when my line went tight and.....just kidding.

I saw two muskrats about 6 years ago at lower Castaic swiming under one of the docks.

And this one time, at band camp...Oops, wrong message board. I've seen muskrats up to the size of a normal cat before while out on the water. I haven't seen any bear though (thankfully). That's one for the memory bank. I did have a bobcat take about five years off my life though. Fishing Casitas, kind up tight to the bank and there were some mallards just being mallards when "Wham, crash, splash" this bobcat blasted out of the bank cover, right into the waters edge and snagged himself a quacker. I about jumped out of the boat it freaked me out so bad for a second. I had about a six foot long snake decide he didn't like the delta water anymore and wanted to kick it on the back of my boat. Sum bitch wouldn't leave either. got himself all wrapped up in the steering cables so we had to just keep fishing till he decided he didn't like the grease anymore. And yes, we stayed in the front of the boat. I even had a Canadian goose try to inform me in an unpleasant goosey manner that I was too close to his nest. Damn thing was flying three feet off the boat hissing and trying to land, but my trusty flippin' stick kept him at bay long enough to get the trolling motor on high. Funny part is I was warned by a friend about him a few days before. Oh them rascally critters and their affinity for bass fisherman.

Dude, you have no idea how lucky you were. If it were a mountain lion, which it very well could have been, it could have taken you down in a heartbeat. Thankfully you didn't run otherwise it might have been another story. My roommate told me a story once on an elk hunt a few years ago he was being tracked by a mountain lion which got within 10 yards, thankfully a few rounds with the handgun ran him off. Man I would have hated to be in your shoes at that moment. Make me glad I night fish in my boat. At casitas I hear all kinds of critters rustling around in the bank brush line. Damn, now I am going to be thinking about your mountain lion the next time I heard something go bump on the bank.

You know Jeff the Import, for someone all gitty about wanting me to take you out sightin', you sure are doing a good job of deleting your credits. I kill things that don't see it coming, legally of course. If you ever get the brass sinkers to come on out to the country, (if you're not afraid to get your sneakers dirty) I'll whip ya up some good Elk sausage. By the way, recognition of fear is the dividing line between survival and death. Hey, you doing the next FOCL since EDK decided to get all domestic on us and stuff? Call me and let's hook up. I'll take you the castaic night zoo area and see just how forged your oatmeal wrapped in a leaf butt really is. :-)

Not much. Just a BOBCAT at Castaic about 10 feet away from me. I was at the lower lake. I was leaving just about 1 hour after sundown. Walking to my car parked in the dirt lot (when it was there). I saw him hiding near the benches and table. At first, I thought it was a dog. Then, to my surprise it was a damn BOBCAT. He just stared at me eye to eye. So, I relized I better just walk away (looking over my shoulder of course). He was about 28 in. from his butt to his nose & about 12 in. tall on all fours. First time I ever encountered a Bobcat. COOL! :o
