Boatjacked by a bear: Hey, Bobo, he's got fish!

Animal scrambles into craft, hits throttle
`The bear was fishing with my boat': Angler

Bears like eating fish, but they don't usually catch them with a line and pole while riding in a boat.

Marty Descoteaux sees the beasts often near the city of Elliot Lake, about 150 kilometres west of Sudbury. So he wasn't surprised last month to spot one swimming near his boat on Esten Lake, just outside the city.

Descoteaux was busy at the time reeling in a 5.4-kilogram lake trout. He turned away for a moment and that's when two paws grabbed the side of his boat.

The fisherman grabbed a paddle and hit the animal over the head, but that didn't deter it.

"It went ballistic, he wanted in," said Descoteaux. "I never thought a bear could climb so fast into a boat. I had no choice, I had to bail out."

He swam for shore, hoping the bear wouldn't follow.

When Descoteaux reached rocks he looked back and was shocked to see his 5-metre aluminum boat speed past. While the bear was exploring the boat, it had hit the throttle.

I swear I am not making this up.
