Now that's a better catch than any ol' train. :-) At one moment it appeared it was trying to scare you. I saw a lot of poison ivy in there too. Real nice!

@SFLRailFan At first I thought it was trying to scare  us.. but my buddy who was steering the boat says that from his angle the bear lost its footing while standing on the side of the bank, which is why it made that move. I love bears anyways so this was a great catch.
