Mr. Bass and I went out prefishing tonight for a few hours.

and we spot a set of Eyes, as we get closer so does the tan spot.
it kept growing. it was a full grown lion about 175lbs we got to with in 20-30 feet of it and took some pics.(they came out on the camera internal view finder not the one you look through to set the pic up, but the one after the pic was taken. but they dont come up on my picture programs and you can barely make it out when I crank the brightness way up)
Anyway the lion was cool,
4th lion I have seen there this year(well since thanksgiving).. this one was by far the biggest and definatly the closest one I have seen there. I know that there are 3 separate lions at lake pleasant and this is the same one I almost got a shot at last year(with a gun).

What was cool was when he went up the side of the hill and jumped up cliffs like they were nothing.

Could you have reached him with kastmaster? :shock:

175 lbs is a big mountain lion, but I think you can catch him with a tuna rod and 80lb test..........try a jackrabbit and use a 10/0 hook...

I could have nailed him with a flippin stick....

Mountain lion

Why would you want to pop that lion? I thought you said it was cool to see. I'd like to see one also, but never have.
Man that is beautiful, I wish I had my rifle... never made sense to me. I am not picking on anyone that hunts so don't miss understand me, but some things???? I guess as I have gottin older maybe I have become soft. I used to hunt alot as kid and young adult, but now I just like to look at it and check it and if I am lucky see it again. Please this is not to start a war on this site.
Just my unpopular two cents.

Bill.
I like to hunt aka kill things.

The reason I want one is to put one on my wall in a lifesize mount attacking a deer that I shot a few years ago just for this chance.

A lion is one of the hardest throphys to get. just like a 15+ lb bass.

If I kill one you are more then welcome to come and see it on my wall :wink:

This wont start a war.
