Fox down by the River!!!!!(Serious)

Went for an hour late this afternoon to the River ....got a few on topwater...nothing big but cool to get something on my new Legend Tournament 6'10 MXF rod.....So I 'm fishing and I look to my right like 10 feet away and see this guy....scared the crap outta me because he was so close and not afraid....so I grabbed my stuff together slowly making noise but he wouldn't go away!!.....by now it was gritting his teeth and really got me a bit worried it may have rabies....Got to my car and the fox followed me and was still hissing at me....I think it was possessed...thankfully I got away w/o any bites,tabies, or damage....Just be careful when you go there...you never know what you might see.....

I would definately contact the County, Municipality, and FG&W and report this one.

looked like a top water bite until...a fox entered the picture. Great pictures!
The hunter turns to the hunted I have seen rabid skunks behave in a similar fashion. You played the right card...get the hell out of Dodge!

Nice fish and cool pics!! Def best to stay away from animals that are stalking you, lol.

I think I saw you over there. I was headed downstream around 6:30pm in the j boat? Glad you got a few. I had a decent night myself.......

See those sexy Foxes ing with Silver Fox consistently in the lower Passaic and up in the great swamp. They're everywhere by my work area, Berkley heights, Harding, Mendham, Millington, Stirling and surrounding towns. I wouldn't worry too much about them, there quite timid. I would be scarce of the other river critters, rats, raccoons and those critters that look like ferrets. Can't remember the name. Nice Smallies buddy!!!!

NorthJerzyG....Was that you with no shirt?..I saw you going downstream.....Would have been cool to finally meet someone from this board.....How'd you do?......FISH ON(ALWAYS!!)

Had one roaming my neighborhood for a few weeks. Haven't seen it lately.
I think you could have taken him if it came to a fight!!!! LOL

Is that the Dingmans Ferry Bridge. If so, years back we shot a red fox in that same area.
