I thought he had given up and was going to try a new spot when he jerked his head sideways and came up with this prize.

You're fortunate that there's always a bit of a lapse between thought and action. I'm impressed that you stayed in position - it was obviously worth it.
Thanks.

It took him a few minutes but when he got fish positioned just right, down it went!
Thank you all for comments.

Snakehead.
Thanks Larry. Good observation.
I heard my friend say catfish and never gave it any thought. I should verify!

Hard to believe it can swallow a fish that size.

I am always amazed at what those Birds can swallow........WOW. I hope he eats ALL The Snake heads as they are nasty fish and a problem in some areas.

Very nice. It will take a while to get the fish just situated correctly in order to be swallowed.

All the more time for some great images like throwing back it's head for the big swallow. High burst mode on the camera. vz
