Coyote Attacks Topwater Bait

live coyote on topwater lure
This isn't a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story — it's "The Angler Who Cried Coyote." 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.

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."

What makes the story even more incredible 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!

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."

Valuable Lure! What bait compelled Chandler to risk his own hide getting punctured?
