Title: My first catch.....ever
Post by: toguefisha on Dec 03, 2013, 11:05:21 AM

So this year was my first year of setting a trap line.  I ran a small mink line earlier in the season with only a few sprung and empty traps to show for it.  Switched over to land sets for fisher and caught something else instead.

This happens to be the one creature in Maine that gives me the complete willies and up until today I didn't even know it :)

Anybody guess what it was?
