Photos: Bald Eagle Robs Trout Fisherman
Amateur Photographer Rick Warren snapped these photos of a bald eagle stealing a fish off the end of his fishing buddy's tippet.
Amateur photographer Rick Warren and his fishing buddy Bruce Huntley (pictured) had some stiff competition while fishing Lake Padden, a small mountain lake in Washington state last month. Instead of contending with L.L. Bean-clad out of towners, their adversary was an adult bald-eagle with a six-foot wingspan. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

Amazing pictures and so thrilling to be that close the eagle, but an eagle does eat the heads of fish, so fisherman in that particular lake, knowing this should do everything in their power to make sure the eagle is not injured.
I don't care if it was the perfect specimen.. If an eagle chose to swoop down and take a fish off MY line.. I would be absolutely ecstatic!
Talk about the "One That Got Away"! We have Bald Eagles here around Milford Kansas but I have never heard of that happening. Of course, we don't fish trout here either.
I wonder if it is both of the parents taking turns? Gotta admit, very resourceful birds!

That's awesome! I love to fish but don't have the best luck with it but if this happened to me I'd be in shock.
Great photos and story. I'd love to see this bird in action.
Hi...
Incredible performances captured on camera. WOW...!!
That's one bird that knows how to "outwit" the humans, which it appears to be very acclimated to.
Absolutely fearless.
