Surprised the heron didn't just stab it with its beak. Probably enjoying the game. Nice catch.

That would make sense, wouldn’t it? I believe that GBH generally catch fish by clamping them in their beaks rather than stabbing them.

I grew up on Long Island. We used to catch and eat “American” blowfish all summer. Only the tail half has meat. The Japanese puffer fish, or fugu, is the poisonous fish.

Thanks, Joe. The bird won in the end.

I don't know if the fish caught by the GBH is related to the pufferfish found in Japan (Fugu) - BUT - if it IS, the fish may have the last laugh.
-
Blowfish, known in Japan as fugu, is a highly prized delicacy both as sashimi or as an ingredient in soup, but the fish's liver, ovaries and skin contain the poison tetrodotoxin and the parts must be removed by specially trained and licensed preparers. There is no known antidote to the poison.

Thanks! the action was so far away that I could barely make it out, so I have to givea big shout out to the 500mm PF lens.
