animals in water snarling at me during night fishing

I was fishing from my dock. 40 minutes in I hear this ungodly terrifying sounding snarling to my right, then a few moments another to my left as if they were surrounding me or communicating to each other. My guess was otters, but after looking the type of sounds they make it was not even close. Otters sound chirpy and have a birdlike tone. The noise i heard was vicious and terrible sounding. I have seen outters and muskrats but they seemed to have no interest getting near me or making sounds. I goggled outters and apparently they attack people all the time.

Any guesses to what it could of been?

So where were you? I've had beavers run me off after dark. They are quite territorial. If you are down south, I know they have problems with nutria taking over since they have no natural predators.

The problem on this forum is people don't post the area they live. Not knowing even the county or state you live in i could not even make a guess.

I wish I had the wherewithal to record the sound.. I am not being overly dramatic with my description. I am tempted to go back again with spotlights to figure out what was stalking me and my louieville slugger.

Knowing where you are now, my guess is beavers.
