News On 6 anchor Tess Maune has found some competition out on the water— a family of raccoons.

While she was fishing over the weekend, Tess spotted a momma raccoon and her two little ones in foraging for food in the water and recorded some of the process.

The momma would go in, stick her paws under rocks and a few times she would pull up her catch and eat it. The babies weren't quite as skilled, but they sure were trying.

Raccoons like to eat crawdads, fish, turtles, mussels, pretty much whatever they can get their paws ahold of.

Tess said the trio looked just like noodlers do in the water.
