I took the wife out for moonlight fishing last weekend. We were trying for catfish up in that long creek arm with the power boat course in the ski arm. No bites at the entrance so we started creeping further back into the arm. It was really dark and we started to hear some weird animal calls... sounded like a woman screaming. We were about 15 feet from shore when we heard rocks falling and the brush moving around.
Sure enough, when we shined our lights on the shore there was a nice-sized mountain lion creeping in the weeds about 40 ft away. Maybe it was just curious - but it was definitely tracking us. My wife started flipping out so I started the motor and we took off.
Luckily we caught some fish during the daylight hours so technically we beat the skunk that day. We were trying to catch cats but that cat almost caught us.
