“Brett Hereford was out fishing on a lake in Montana with his family earlier this month when he made the catch of a lifetime. But what he caught wasn’t actually a fish at all.”
“According to reports, while the Herefords were far from shore in a boat on Flathead Lake, they noticed a figure in the water ahead of them and decided to move in for a closer look. That’s when they found something unexpected: a bobcat, struggling to stay afloat.”
“Though it’s unclear exactly how the bobcat had gotten into that watery predicament, things may very well have ended in tragedy had the Herefords not come along.” The bobcat was taken back to dry land and set free.
