Awesome encounter

Ok, well that was a dig. Encounter? Not really.

So I went fishing this afternoon. Nothing really happened there except a dude pulling up talking LOUDLY on his cell and getting set up to fish RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I wasn't too into it anymore, so I left. But driving up the lake looking at all the other people out, I saw a guy on the side of the road. Sitting in his chair, fiddling with his rod. Then what I thought was a duck came over, essentially, the hood of the truck to land. Wasn't a duck! It was an osprey! It slammed into the water and came up with a little fish! I'm hammering on the brakes because I saw this guy's bobber and line go up with the bird. It finally broke free from the hook and the bird flew off with this guy's fish! He had hooked this fish, was reeling it in, and the osprey took it!

Can you even believe seeing something like that?

Chalk that up to being in the right place at EXACTLY the right time. Rather than being pissed at that guy for intruding on my little spot, maybe I shoulda thanked him.

Wish I could download mental photos sometimes...but perhaps that's the way it should be. Images that are yours and yours alone (well, in this case...mine and his.)
