Two weeks ago I was fishing beside Diamond Island. I caught a three year old Salmon and released it as I usually do. Sometimes when you release the fish they lay stunned for about a minute or so and then they spark up and dive. While continuing to troll away I always keep an eye on the fish to be sure that it is OK. All of a sudden, out of nowhere. a very large Eagle swooped in and scooped that fish up like a C141 doing a cargo drop, and off it flew, just above the water, straight up to Welch Island. It was one of the coolest sights I have ever seen! (It also happened to me fishing near Locke and Welch about eight years ago)

They are indeed a magnificent sight to see!!
