We have a camp in the Tug Hill area. Cat tracks regularly work the landscape. Particularly during the full moon phase. The occasional large set of tracks always made me wonder if mountain lions inhabited NYS. We have begun using trail cams with regularity over the last 4 years. It turns out that the 'occasional' bobcat is as large as a small to medium whitetail!! I had no idea bobcats could get so big. I would estimate from pics 85-100 lbs. Definitely a formidable predator!! And easy to see how large bobcats could be confused with lions..... That was my first thought.

Used to use mono for muskie prior to braid and caught fish. You will want to use a stiffer rod. Braid is the way to go with 24-36" steel, titanium, or floro leader. Good luck.

Awesome, Kevin. The ones that get away or almost get away seem to be the most memorable. Congrats on a successful opener.

Those are beautiful fish. Congrats. Your narrative is unbelievable. It would seem that the lake you fished more than lived up to its name. Well done.

That is one for the photo album for sure! Well done. We never seem to catch them that big 'on purpose'. Once in a blue moon catch one in that price range trolling for muskies. Congrats!

Nice fish, paul. Do you happen to recall if they were caught before or after moon rise? You are on fire this fall. Nice work.

Thanks, Ivan. Yes, the wind has been murder. Gusts over 30 today. Not ideal fishing conditions that is for sure.
