He was caught, that's for sure. That lousy GBH didn't like having his pic taken so he flew to the other sid eof the pond outside the range of the 500mm. I quickly popped the TC on but in taht time the GBH sqalloed his catch so no pic of the gulp. :cry

Hey that fish looks like a "Frankenfish" from the SciFi movie I watched, so I'm glad your GBH ate em before he got to BIG!! :lol3

Thanks Al. I have some shots with the feet but then the head is right against the top of the frame, one of the disadvantages of a prime. I was on top of a dike shooting down so I couldn't move closer or further away w/o losing the optimal angle. Having to choose I kept the head and lost the feet.

I am afraid so Gus. Once you get that 400 back there will be no stopping you. :D

That fish was an ugly sicker.

Thanks Jeff. I never got a really good luck at the fish but I would guess that it was a catfish.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the kind words. I never got a really good look at the fish but I think its a catfish. They are the least of your problems if you want a swim. I would be concerned with the gators and snakes myself.
