Very nice. Would been neat if you caught the Eagle diving on the fish. And I never would have never thought the eagle would swim like that.

A few years back while trolling on Branch I noticed a good togue dead on the surface by the Cow and Calf. An eagle swooped in and got the togue. Next time I looked the eagle was in the water swimming for shore. I watched until he got to shore and climbed out on a rock that sloped into the water dragging the togue with him.

Another time I saw an eagle take on a loon in the water. The loon won and the eagle had to swim to shore.

I like it that I can see eagles often on the drive to work.

I saw an eagle do that, didn’t realize it was still holding onto a togue

Cool footage. I shot a duck once that landed in the Missouri river. My dog went after it and when he got to within 15 feet or so a Bald Eagle came down and snatched that duck right out from infront of him. I'm not sure which one of us was more upset at the time but I can look back and appreciate the event where as my dog is still in therapy over the ordeal.

Have seen them do it taking lake trout to shore that were too big to fly away with.
