Yes.
Technically the name is a Fisher.

What seems to be the problem?

Not sure if there is one. He was watching me fish off the dock this AM. It’s also where the grandkids play and swim

Not a danger to humans, but small pets and birds (chickens) are on the menu. Usually very shy, lucky to see one in the open.

Actually I was a bit startled. Stayed there a few minutes. Credit the wife for some great photos

Be somewhat careful as wildlife can be sick or react in ways that we do not expect.

That actually looks more like a mink to me. Look up mink v fisher on the web to learn the difference.
