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!
