Bass Fishing

Gallery: AvianPosted February 8, 20181,629 views4 comments

At my favorite duck lake, I noticed this Commorant swimming close to me. He would repeatedly dive under the water and then surface. On one of his returns to the surface, he had this very large bass. He struggled with it for several minutes before finally swallowing it. It was amazing to watch. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

The large picture really tells the news! The only thing that could improve it would be if the bass were on my line instead of in the cormorant's mouth. laugh

That's an impressive cormorant. Nice capture of all the action Jerry.

Great action, Jerry. The water splashes really make this one for me.

Cormorants are amazing, and your timing is excellent with the fish and open mouth. Excellent!
