Today at the TCAAP WVA, I Saw a Heron with a Big Fish

I've seen a lot of interesting activities at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area. Tonight was another unique event. Shortly after this heron landed is speared a big fish. It struggled with it for a while. It looked like it was stabbing it repeatedly but I couldn't see all the action due to the cattails. Eventually, it walked off, took a drink of water and wriggled around. I'm 100% certain it ate the fish...it was huge.
I had to crop this a lot to see any detail from the fish so I won't sell you any prints larger than 4"x6".  Here a shot after the alleged meal.
