What goes on behind Your back ?? - a photo on Flickriver

I’d seen this couple in the boat had been unsuccessfully fishing for about an hour. Then noticed the Bald Eagle suddenly appear on the scene.
I hastily grabbed the camera for one of those “Try and catch the moment shots”.
As I was focusing, the Eagle swooped down on his prey (probably a Sunfish from the shape of the tail). Snatched it from the water and started to fly off.

The Eagle got his dinner. I got “a shot of sorts”. The folks in the boat got nothing, and were totally oblivious to the goings on behind their backs.
Now that really is "The One That Got Away", but a tale these folks certainly won't be telling in the bar tonight !!
