Bad luck?

I figuered that I was destined to get skunked after that but I did manage one 15" bass just before leaving. Just curious if seeing a skunk is considered bad luck to most people and also if anyone knows were the term "getting skunked" term originated.

Too bad I wasn't there. You could have used my bag to take out the little bastage.

Everytime I see a skunk on the way to fish I think that, but I think confidence and optimism is a big part of sucessful fishing so I try not to think about it. One time after a good night that followed multiple skunked nights I saw a dead skunk in the road on the ride home...... that was a little weird...
