i once had my own private bass pond in the mountains where i would sit on a particular rock. It was also full of shiners that were say six to eight inches long. I used to cull these out of the pond to feed a HUGE bob cat that i befriended. Apparently he knew my schedual and would secretly watch me from the brush. I had been leaving fish for years... same place - same spot.... ok, when suddenly one day while sitting on this rock with my dingo watching , the BObcat comes out in full view and casually walks over to the waters edge on the oposite side of the pond just 80 feet away and starts trying to snag a fish with its claw and curved upwards paw. After several attempts of missing he ?she? walks up to a sunny rock to watch me fish and wait for his lunch.
i left six that day... and they were all gone by morning yet i never saw the big Bob Cat again. It walked with such pride and majestic power that my dog (70lbs of steel) who i whispered "no" to in its ear....knew not to move off of that rock. I sat there for over an hour perfectly still (with my motionless dog)
watching that BOBCat watch US. It was a special site to behold.
