Well what can you say….she did it to me today!! The better half caught a 22 inch 5 lb. LM this evening and has the bragging rights for at least a few days!! We seen a very interesting scenario today where a bald eagle tried to take out a loon. I’ve never seen that before and was it wild to say the least!! The eagle tried twice but missed on both attempts. The Loon stayed under for a long time and then resurfaced to the continued attempts of the eagle. Finally the eagle gave up and left. I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture of the eagle but I got one of the Loon. No Loon dinner tonight….but he’ll try again. The weather has been Chamber of Commerce for Michigan. I did get a picture of the “Lucky Loon”, sorry I missed the eagle. Never can get the camera in time….story of my life!! When I cleaned the “Lucky Bass for Supper “ last night I always check the stomach contents and as the picture shows a “Crawfish”!! So tonight we went a used Saltcraws on Texas Rig and “bang” a lot bigger Bass!! That’s and Old Trick my father used to narrow down the bait of “Choice” for the fish’s appetite. Hope everyone is well and Tight Lines to All.

Congratulations Mrs Cougar, that's a beautiful Bass. That's an interesting Eagle story Cougar, I've only seen them compete with others like Ospreys. I didn't know that they would target anything like a Loon. Thanks for sharing your trip, and the great pictures.
