Nice captures. That fish is a plecostomus. A tropical fish from South America. People have released them from aquariums and they have populated North American waters.
Yup...I mentioned that in the beginning...thanks OldN!

Have captured many Great Blues with various a sundry of items in it's beak. Yesterday retiredCPO, Sally and I watched this Heron trying to get down this HUGE UGLY catfish. For a good 15 minutes he tried and tried. He dunked it in the water, He speared it again and again, the entire time Sally and Chief saying there was NO WAY while I said WAY and cheered the glutton on!
Wow!

Great pictures, I have seen them swallow mice, but never something this large. Thanks for sharing.
