What an incredible animal! The balls, speed, agility, etc. is all off the charts for that dinner
Two of my favorite critters on earth as well.

That looks bigger than any bobcat I have seen.

Nothing in the picture to use for scale. Article says the guy estimated the fish to be four feet long. If his estimate is near correct it ain't a Bob Cat. Problem is the photographer has no more to scale size by than us looking at a picture. For the record I examined a Bob Cat that was killed buy a car that weighed 42 pounds. He was over twice as large as any I have ever seen while hunting. Most look like they weigh no more than 15#. BTW... We catch a lot of 12-18" sharks in the surf this time of year.

No way that is a bobcat. Body shape is way different than a bobcat. Definitely is a Panther/Mountain Lion. Especially if that shark is 4ft long.

That was my first impression, but mountain lions have tails. Maybe it's just a really big, really wet bobcat.

The tail is what makes this a bit confusing but I bet it was some type of accident the animal had earlier in its life. I have a regular cat at home that had its tail broken at the base as a kitten and it is only about 3" long. Something similar easily could have happened here.

These quotes are what I was thinking as well. But that shouldn't spoil the fun of seeing kitty fishing.
