Mountain lion caught on video fishing the Blackfoot near Seeley Lake, Montana

As fish tales go, this one’s long and fuzzy.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear manager Jamie Jonkel’s morning routine follows a regular pattern. He opens his email and hurriedly sorts through the piles of photos and videos people have sent him from their remote game cameras the night before. He has to be quick, before the daily load crashes his mailbox.

"I’m getting pictures from hundreds of cameras and videos," Jonkel said. "It’s great, because instead of someone calling to say, ‘Hey, there’s a grizzly in the area,’ they’re sending pictures of the lion feeding on a dead deer, or a skunk squeezing through to get the chickens. We’re getting incredible footage from all over Montana."
