That was my grand-dad. I remember he called out of work for an entire week once just to fish. Nothing could stop him from his fishing. Not even when a cougar escaped out near my familys lake. It was kind of spooky when I found several cougar paw prints when I was taking a hike. Started carrying a knife all the time after that...
Cougar attacks on adults are practically unheard of, but it's a good idea to pack a knife or two with you anyway, simply because knives are damn useful.
You need a leatherman if you're going fishing anyway; you never know when you'll need plyers if a fish takes the hook too deep, or a knife if you have a particularly tough line that's caught on underbrush.
