Sharks In Lake Cumberland!!

[Jumper_Dad]

Yes. I'm saying no mountain lions, yeti, or sharks in or around lake Cumberland.

I know some guys that would fight you over this, they whole heartedly believe there are Squatches around the Lake...especially around the Keno area...I think they are nuts but the will just about fight over this point.

I know of a guy fondly known as Drunk Dave at Grider Hill dock who sometimes squalls in the wee hours of the morning that would sound very Yeti-like.

That's not a shark, that's mountain ref swimming around for his next Obama Post topic.

The big cats are there doc, no doubt about it.

Wow. Guess I'll stay in Green River Lake and Herrington Lake though I'm surprised Herrington hasn't had a shark attack or two.

 

Doesn't Herrington have the "Herrington Lake Monster"?

I've heard stories of fish with teeth in Herrington but people call them Gar. I've never had any issues at Herrington. I prefer Green River Lake though. Much cleaner. Although Herrington has been cleaner this year.

Gar is a toothed fish that occurs naturally in pretty much every large fresh body of water in Kentucky. Looks like this:

I want to see non-photoshopped pictures from a game camera before I'll believe that. The climate doesn't suit them.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

I believe it. Because the mountain lion spotted in Ashland last week told me so.

It was an actual lion...

So you are calling commando a liar?

[spindoc]

No sir, I'm not calling anyone a liar. I want to see proof for myself. I want to see the 3 foot tail on that bobcat.

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

Yep, same animal. Very widespread range and quite an array of names throughout their range.

 

My understanding is that they are the same species, with some subspecies qualities. They can all inter-breed, but there are some variances in size, etc. - much like the tiger.

So you are thinking Bell County mascots and not Boyd County mascots?

[spindoc]

Pictures. Not hearsay. I want photographs.
