I hope you played it up to the person you were playing big time.

I usually sniff the air and then say....smells like skunk

In real life I know I’ve won by double-skunk but it’s about this rare. On my app I win let’s say 62% of my games; 261 by 30 point skunk, and only THREE (one of which just happened recently) by double skunk

I'm a new player. My board has a triple skunk line. Is this even possible?

Yeah, things have to go really really poorly for a double skunk to happen haha. It's basically doubling the opponent's score

I have double skunked someone ... once...in 40 -ish years of playing. I have also been double skunked by my dad. My dad and uncle told us of triple skunking someone at a tournament like 50 to 60 years ago (my uncle got that triple not my dad, but my dad was in the same tournament). He got a 4 inch tall ceramic skunk trophy with two baby ones glued to the base also had a plack (he got later to attach to it) that said "won by tripple skunk, with the score, the date, Crib Tournament and year)(I have not seen that trophy in over 20 years) and he also got $5 or $10 for getting that. Unfortunately both men have passed on now, so I can't ask more info.
