I think the funniest thing i have ever had happen to myself was the night an owl mistook myself for a tree. I was fishing in an estuary in the spring with big dannies.. it was around midnight and I was retrieving the lure nice and slow and I was in water up to my waist and was completely motionless except for my wrist turning the reel.... I saw a dot in the sky get bigger and bigger and i thought i was seeing things. I closed my eyes for a second and looked up again and there was a huge barn owl coming in for a landing on my fishing rod. Its talons were out its wings were outstretched as far as they could go as it was gliding in to land on it.. I realized that if it tried to land on my pole it would probably tumble down on top of me and freak out so i wiggled the rod in a frantic motion and yelled at it to scram and it veered off just missing me and just about did a splashdown before gliding up into a tree on the bank. the owl then preceded to screech at me for 10 minutes.. I really think that I i didnt see it, it would have crashed into me and tore me to pieces.. but who knows.
