Damn Racoons

[krueger]

I was catching worms in my front yard tonight and i was doing real good. I had 50-60 worms in my bait can. I just set it in my driveway instead of carrying it. Anyway i turned around to put a couple more worms in my bait can and there is a coon with a handful of my nightcrawlers in his mouth. When he noticed me he just turned around and ran off. I wasnt more than 20 yards away. He ate all my worms except 5 1/2 of them. 45 minutes of worm catching down the drain. It really stinks cause i was planning on walleye fishin in the morning. Has this happened to any of you guys?

It wasn't a coon for me....Last weekend I was bluegill fishing! All the gills are packed into 4-8 feet of water....A.K.A..at the end of my dock. It was great. Caught two dozen gills ranging from 7-11 inches. Well, I hadn them hanging on a stringer fromt he dock. I look down and there is a HUGE bowfin (dogfish) circling my stringer and he grabs one. Tears the lip of it off and eats my fish!!!!! So, I grabbed a good size rod and threw a big minnow on there, and he grabbed it. My drag was a little tight. Snapped 10# test like nothing, but I never saw him again!!!!
