Large mouth bass?

We have seen a loon chasing ducks from the area before.

There is a great accidental underwater loon shot in the movie "On Golden Pond". Hearing the conditions of the chance filming on the DVD makes it even more enjoyable. I just remembered, we have not done our annual OGP winter viewing this year yet. Running out of time. Perhaps we will watch on the island some night soon.
