I watched a special on this some time ago. They actually said you had to be real careful of beavers. Apparently they are viscious when cornered and they can crush a mans skull with a bite. I'll stick with Dizzyliz in the boat with my fishing rod.

"We all figured he'd gotten himself killed," McFarlin says as we loiter in his driveway, "but we didn't know for sure." Well, not until a search party pulled his waterlogged corpse from the Cimarron two days later. "His skull was crushed," remembers McFarlin. "He had his arm deep in a hole, and a beaver came up and crunched him while he was going at it."

Beaver's will swim away and do not come after you like this. I have a den on the lake that I live on about 100 feet away. I have to admit I'm sticking my hand in any hole after them but They generally run away when the kids are swimming near them. A few warning splashes and then they are gone.

I would think that it takes some gumption to swim down blind under water and use your arm like a worm to catch one of those things?!
It looks painful too-
That guys arm was trashed.
They have barbs too. Ouch.
...I'll stick with my preferred method of using trusty fishing pole.
