Anhinga downs huge Bass.......

Met Mark out at the Wetlands Sunday morning. Roads where all closed, we had to hike it. While I was waiting on Mark, this Anhinga came out of the water in front of me. I felt he deserved his own post based on the size of that dam fish!
Will post the rest of my finds in another post.

Holy cow - that is awesome! What a score! And technically it's excellent - exposure is right on and focus is perfect. How close were you and what lens did you use?

Amazing! Very nice capture. - TF

Wow!! Outstanding Sequence ! 10.0

My, oh my, that's a big bass fish!

What a catch -- for both of you!!!!

That is pretty amazing to see and wonderful pictures.

PJ said my first thought."Holy Cow"

I wonder birds can belch.

To get an idea of size of fish, how big is the bird?

HOLY **** !!!!

Thanks for sharing !

Wow !!

Had someone told me about this I would not have believed it! These are amazing pictures with super detail. I think you need to find a contest and enter ... this series is a winner!!!

Fantastic series! Man what a glutton..

Spectacular series, Eric!

I especially enjoyed #2 and #4 - it looks like the bass leapt directly into the birds throat :p

What amazing shots - almost unbeleivable that the bird can swallow something that size:)

Looks like a 2 lber, I am a avid Bass fisherman.

Wow spectacular well done on capturing this and on the feature. :)
