Thread: Most rememberable events?

My son and I fishing White River lake this year when a black bear came down the bank and swam across the lake. This was an awesome site.

Cool slab jammer. I tried to get my phone on the eagle but the sun was bad and I couldn't see anything thru camera phone.

I got to witness pretty much the same thing trout fishing on the White River just below Boswell Shoals last year. Friend and I were fishing and I saw a mature bald eagle fly over us going upstream. We watched him go about 100 yards above us, turn and head back downstream at a lower altitude. He flew pretty much right over us again, dropped down just above the water and then dipped down and caught a trout in his claws and flew off. He was so close we could see the trout flopping, trying to get out of the grasp of the eagle. I thought to myself at the time, that's the way it's supposed to be, the circle of life. I'll never forget that experience. Wish I had it on video!

But, I saw squirrels migrating across the Little Red by the hundreds one time. I told the boy to net a couple for supper. I failed to tell him to drown the 1st little rat before he plopped it in my lap.
I have never seen that sight again.

Those squirrels weren't migrating. They were washing their nuts. :-)

Bahahahahaha

Saw an eagle snatch a snow goose outta the air once while standing in my Grandma's yard. Saw an alligator eat a nutria rat on AR River once even though I've always been told they don't eat em. Caught an alligator on a bass jig at Peckerwood Lake few years ago. Prolly may favorite happened when I was a kid fishing a lake in white river bottoms below Clarendon: was bream fishing w crickets and threw a cricket leg into the water over side of boat and a minnow swam up to it, then a bream swam up and ate the minnow, then a bass swam up and ate the bream. Sounds like some fish stories huh?

There you go! That's the circle of life again! Great story1

Saw a squirrel trying to get a nut off a low hanging limb over the water and when he got to the end of the limb the limb went under water and a big bass came up and ate the squirrel. In just a few minutes, the bass came back up and put another nut out on the end of the limb.
