knobby6 1 Posted November 25, 2012 It took him about 20 min to down this catfish. At one point it appeared that the catfish barb had pierced the pelicans sac, but eventually he managed to free it and swallow it. Lucky pelican. Link to comment

wmhoodphoto 0 Posted November 25, 2012 Excellent image, Monte! Those guys are so hard for me to capture. They either get over exposed or the bg goes black. You've got the perfect combination here. Well done. Link to comment
