Even bobcats practice catch and release.  According to story posted the bobcat was spooked and the shark swam off to live another day.

I do not think that is a Bobcat!
WAY to big......

[Reel 224]

True, after giving it a second look. Looks more like a Cougar with a bobbed tail.

Up here in the Sierra's, we have copious amounts of Bobcats -- and almost hardly any Sharks.

But since Constance read Chile's post this morning -- she has been on the lookout for snow sharks on the deck.

Best,

Fred

Fred: My wife is a cat lover and after she saw this picture. SHE WANT"S ONE!!

[Shark Hunter]

Definitely a cougar.

[alantani]

hmmm, maybe not.......

It looks like you can see some spotting on the coat and unless the "cougar" got a tail chop possibly by a previous Shark encounter , I would also say it is just a big Bobcat. Males can get pretty big, close to 40 lbs. Neat stuff though.

Wish we could see a closer picture of that cat, I still think he or she is a Cougar, the tail could have been cut off by some accident or just a birth defect. Who Knows??

Ya'll must be passing some bad Shine around, or suffering from a mass delusion.
Cause that is no cougar.
It is the perfect size, shape and coloration for an adult Bobcat, much too stocky & compact for a Fl Swamp Panther.
If the shark is an Atlantic Sharpnose, they're 4' max, average 3'.
And an adult Bob averages 21" at the shoulder, yep, Mt. Lion.
Shark would be 5'-6' long if it was even a young adult lion.

C'mon FWC says its a Bobcat.  FWC knows they've lions and knows a lion when they see one.
Unlike a few other Southern states who deny the existence of lions in their states.

Lets check out a pic that has the brightness adjusted to see this cat clearer.
Hmmmm...  Spots, color, head, ears... Bobcat.

If the flame burns Blue, its good Shine John.
That Sharpnose makes him look bigger. I know how you like to always be right, and you are again.

[Reel 224]

For sure a Bobcat. I would have loved to see that in action, it's a shame he lost his catch. I stand corrected. As I stated though the larger picture makes a big difference. By the way you ever made a mistake when sober

I think its a bobcat panther mix.to big to be a bobcat and no cougar In Florida.
