Wish I had some pics or video, but didn't go prepared for that.

Fished for 6 hours on Sunday before the storm came in. Caught some nice largemouth, couple of 17 inchers being the best for the day. Caught a couple dozen crappie, and the bluegill finally moved up in the shallows and started biting.

Highlight was a new experience for me. Had an osprey sitting in a tree, and he made four dives into the water. Second dive he came up with a nice fish (guessing about a 10"-12" crappie), but dropped it. Last dive and he went away with a small fish, guessing a bluegill.

Never seen a osprey hunting or diving before in person, was very cool to see it happening 150 yards away!

We have a pair that use our pond at the farm every year about this time until around September.

They never seem to take anything but about 8" crappie.
