Hello Humans! Do you like my fish? It'll sure make a tasty snack. What? You're laughing at how small it is?

I'll have to go deep for this one...

How about this? Hmmm, I'm having a little trouble getting this one down.

I guess I'll have to do what you guys call "catch and release". Thanks for watching, I'll see you later.

Excellent set but what a great spot, that was a nice little striper and a real nice Sunny, it does look a bit big for that little one! Well done.

Thanks for the comments! Yes, he was having a good day. All of these shots were captured in an eleven minute time period. They are presented in correct order too! - that's what made me think of the photo story. He struggled for about a minute to get the last one down, but dropped the fish as he flew away.

It was a joy to photograph, with the exception that I was aiming directly toward the setting sun.

Very nice images and well-captioned sandwedge. I got a good chuckle from this series.
I know one thing for sure, those guys are better at catching fish than I'll ever be.
