Holy crap man, that’s a monster cat!  Congrats!

The thanks. Yes it was. I’m 6’4 and 260 for comparison. I can’t believe how heavy he was.

Thank you. A lot of time, frustration, and stubbornness went into this one.

Wow congrats, great story, thanks for sharing.  I am just glad to see I am not the only one that has conversations in my head.  Sounds almost exactly what would be going through my mind....
