The money shot !

Sometimes perseverance pays off? Today after lots of early starts and hours watching the cormorant catching fish miles away I finally got the kind of shots I have been waiting for, I am sure the pike wasn't as impressed though?

Cheers , he swallowed it down in a flash it was quite surreal, unfortunately it had it's back to me but it was over in a second !

The predator predated, or did it get away?

 

[Sky]

An excellent reward for truly outstanding patience.

No it went down in a second, it turned it's back on me and by time it had turned back it was gone!

Amazing shots. I’m surprised to see such an agressive fish being caught and retained. It’s larger than fish I have for my meals..lol.
