Bald Eagle takes fish from fisherman

A Bald Eagle at Lewiston Lake in Northern California swoops down on a man in a boat who is attempting to land a nice trout. The eagle tries several times as the fisherman attempts to chase it off verbally. Turn up the volume. Just before the man nets the fish, the eagle makes a final attempt and takes the fish. The fisherman is angry. The line breaks and the eagle takes fish and lure. I was fishing nearby and pulled out my camera after the eagle's first swoop to record the action. We need a comment from the fisherman about what it was like to be under attack by such a large scary bird!

I WAS relaxed. I was in my kayak catching fish! I was up there over the weekend and the same eagle almost took a chihuahua.

I remember we were fishing a stocked lake a few years back for rainbow trout. We had caught a few and my brother had cleaned them and put them in our cooler. Suddenly there's a huge shadow and about a meter to his right, a big eagle lands to get the fish entrails. Eagles are amazing birds, and when you see one that close you realise just how much so.

There's a reason these birds were picked as our national symbol. They steal from everything.

@barrythorpe you might have been relaxed, BUT at the critical moment "Moneyshots", each time the bird came in...you blew it by moving the camera too much. Anyways...good find.
