My friend and I was fishing the dead water below Truman Dam a few years back and there was a huge Bald Eagle on a low level branch in a tree watching us fish. I hooked a small crappie deep in it's mouth was bleeding badly so I released it and a few minutes later it came to the surface splashing around, the eagle came down and picked it out of the water less than 20 ft. from the boat. My friend and I looked at each other amazed, it was pretty cool, it went back to the same branch and ate it's easy meal.
