TXMulti, it looked like a slot black bass 2 - 3 pounder. I was graphing the point changed directions and watched it land there and go to work on brunch.

Cool pix. I watched a bald eagle one day at Fork hold onto a bass about 2# until it stopped flopping. Then he flew off with it.

Love seeing eagles while out on the lake. I see them on at least half the fishing trips I go on here in OK

I guess Eagles got standards too..really it didn't look like much meat left, too easy for him to get another.

Something interesting I learned up in Alaska about bald eagles. Their talons, once clamped onto a fish, can’t release it until they’re back on the solid ground. A great learning lesson for young bald eagles because they could drown if they grab to large a salmon or trout in the water and can’t take off again.

I asked because on my first close up eagle sighting with my wife, we both just froze and stared. When it flew away we looked at each other and realized neither of us took pics.
Very cool we were in mustang yesterday and watched the one fly around for a bit I love watching those birds
