Default Caught a squirrel today on 5wt

I saw this funny web site about catching prairie dogs:

On lunch breaks I practice my casting on the nearby lawn. No hooks, just
yarn. Today I saw a squirrel searching for food so I made a tight loop in
the same direction about 50 ft away. Planted the yarn about two feet away
from the squirrel, thought it would be good practice in presentation. The
squirrel wasn't even startled and as I continued to slowly retrieve the
line with orange yarn acting as a fly, the squirrel snatched up the yarn
in it's mouth. I didn't want to set the yarn for fear I would hook the
line on it's teeth, so I just watched in amazement. Shortly the squirrel
spit out the yarn.
First time I ever caught something other than a fish on a flyrod.
