Super User Jrob78 Posted October 9, 2022 Super User Posted October 9, 2022 Walked up on this guy at a little pond yesterday. Watched him for about 15 minutes before he disappeared into a small patch of woods. 7 Quote

They are one of my favorite animals too so I love seeing them. 1 Quote

You guys have ocelot wild down in Texas right? Any kind of wild cat sighting is pretty rare. I’m jealous. There is a decent population of bobs in the mountains where I fish but I’ve never been lucky enough to see one. Probably the most elusive animal in NYS. 1 Quote

Like I mentioned, I see them every now and then here but this one was darker than normal and very vivid. Probably the most beautiful wild cat I've ever seen. We do have Ocelot in TX but only down south close to the border, as far as I know. Not related to this but I saw that a Jaguar was spotted in Arizona on some game cameras earlier this year. I think it was the first one seen in the states since the early 1900's, which I thought was awesome. Hopefully he stays hidden and doesn't get shot or hit by a car. Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted October 10, 2022 Global Moderator Posted October 10, 2022 The Mrs and I attended a bachelor bachelorette party a couple weeks ago that was in a refurbished barn turned into a venue. The tables and bar were live edge so the wife asked my dad if he could do it and he didn’t disappoint. 10 Quote

Yes. 8lb test on a medium light spinning rod, in a harbor, with boats and docks gets quite interesting. Not as much a workout as pulling them out of 100ft of water. I fought her for about 10 minutes. 20lb class fish. Caught her on the skien I pulled out of the salmon I caught a couple weeks ago. She took (2) 50 yards runs and was spent until she saw the net. 2 Quote

Super User Jar11591 Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 Little guy on the right is the youngest member in our pack of 3. He’s a year and a half, only 25 pounds but looks big in pictures. He decided to lay down on the head of my old girl, on the left, who turns 13 next month. But she’s patient with him. 18 Quote

A-Jay Wow, that's just incredible! Absolute eye candy. Agreed with you when I'm picking them out of all the Yaupons, and various other bushes ? Not to mention having to pressure wash in the spring from all the staining the leaves do on the driveway. Quote
