Got a client out on the line. Today he decided to take a break from trapping and do some ice fishing. In about an hour and a half he got these two brutes and a 38 inch pike. Last day for him tomorrow and he doesn't want to go home! Heres a few pictures of his trip so far. The lynx is the biggest one I've ever seen. No scale but its a good one. Still after a wolverine......maybe tomorrow.

Nice picture! Looks warm there. Was the cubby intended for lynx or just a whatever set?

Ha ha thats what I thought too!

bfisch, no the cubby was set for a wolverine. That is the first lynx I've ever caught in a conibear. They have just never worked well for me, but I think that old Tom was hungry.

No I didnt it was frozen solid. Should have done that right before I skinned it but never thought about it.
