Only angler Bruce Chandler wasn't bluffing — he actually did hook a real, live coyote on his topwater lure, and has a photo to prove it (http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=23&m=4549244&r=NjA3MzQzNDY5MgS2&b=0&j=MTYyNTA4Njc2S0&mt=1&rt=0).

While fishing a Mississippi River slough, Chandler was casting toward shore when a coyote sprang from the grass, leapt into the river and snatched the surface bait, "in a blink of an eye (http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=25&m=4549244&r=NjA3MzQzNDY5MgS2&b=0&j=MTYyNTA4Njc2S0&mt=1&rt=0)."

What makes the story even more incredible (http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=26&m=4549244&r=NjA3MzQzNDY5MgS2&b=0&j=MTYyNTA4Njc2S0&mt=1&rt=0) is that the angler fought the wild canine to boatside, and with the help of a friend who was fishing nearby, unhooked and released it, without getting bitten (http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=29&m=4549244&r=NjA3MzQzNDY5MgS2&b=0&j=MTYyNTA4Njc2S0&mt=1&rt=0)!

Apparently, that likely outcome didn't even register with the pair during the heat of battle "All I thought was that coyote had the $9 lure I had just bought, and I wanted it back."
