    Thank you very much for your kind comments dbaker1221 on these images.

    I agree with you about the first shot, I was concerned about it at first, but then I thought you take what you can in shots like this.

    Thanks again.

    Cheers!

    Hi Dalantech, thanks for the kind words on this series, and you are right I would have never thought that either, every time I have seen them they catch minnows and nothing this big, but I was shocked at the size of this fish that he caught.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Rohirrim for the comments on this series. I was amazed to see him pull a large fish like this out of the water. I have seen these guys grab little minnows, but never a fish this size.

    Again thanks.
