Post by: JoshT on March 31, 2009, 09:29:38 AM: This was supposedly caught in Lake Washington (I've also received at least 5 emails stating this fish was caught in 5 different locations)... I take no stock in internet photos these days.

Don't know if this is an internet photo or if a friend took it or what, he didn't say. Looking at the vegetation and the likelyhood, I wouldn't dispute it.

The fish is for real, but thats not the guy who caught it. Look at how they tried to blur around his head. I think it was caught in Saskatewan. :dunno:

Post by: JoshT on March 31, 2009, 07:46:08 PM: I know the fish is real... it was on the cover of ST&S magazine last year. That's exactly my point... I'm sure the picture of the Lynx is real... just can't be sure where it was taken.

Post by: Idabooner on April 02, 2009, 11:27:11 AM: About twenty five years ago I followed a lynx up an old road, it walked and trotted 50 feet ahead of me for several minutes. While snowmobiling around the Methow it's not unusual to cut one or two tracks a season, so there is a few here.
