    Cool, is there a story behind the hook and line shot?

    I was wondering about the hook and line also. It's always a bummer to see that. #1 is just spectacular.

    Thanks for the comments! The story behind the line is that there was a fishing boat ready to leave the dock. When the motor started there was about 7 pelicans that flew to the boat and all lined up on the back rim. They seemed to be hitching a ride on a taxi boat! Before it left, this pelican grabbed bait that was already on a hook standing up on the boat. I caught him as he was making his get away. It was quite comical!
