Blue Heron Tug of War

Caught a nice fish and had it in the net. Suddenly a B. Heron flew past my head from behind and went into my net and pulled my fish out!!!! We were in a tug of war, had on 10 pound braid and had the fish in the roof of the mouth. I won the contest and netted my fish. Few minutes later I had a small fish and that rascal got it!! Another battle. I won it too!!! I’ve had some bold B. H. but this one was crazy. I normally don’t keep big fish but it was bleeding at the hook and had a wound from the Heron. Attachment 494239

That’s pretty bold and aggressive. Must of been really hungry. Good catch

Wow! I didn’t realize they were that aggressive.

That would've a great video to see if you had a camera set up! :yikes

I founded out my buddy has been feeding him. Big Mistake!!! He sent me this morning. He’s waiting on a handout. Attachment 494261

Ahh, that explains it.

That's crazy! I have had pelicans be aggressive before but never blue Herons! Nice fish btw!

On high rock, there's a BH that will land near you on docks awaiting dinner. Occasionally, we give it a small one or two. It's alot of fun to watch!

I think someone has been feeding it fish??? [emoji848]
