I had the fortune of stumbling onto these guys today. I had been watching for them but hadn't seen them and kind of forgot about them. I was looking for some more duck action and was marching along when I spotted them both out on the ice. I switched lens and moved in. I watched one of them catch a good 20 fish. Looked like three different species of fish. One ate 5 or 6 then just swam with its mate, unless they were taking turns. Not sure about that. I spent a good hour with them and was absolutely thrilled. I finally made them nervous and they disappeared. I took 350 photos of them.

She came up with a trout, couple sucker fish and a pile of crappie and maybe even a bluegill. I was amazed at how fast she could catch fish.

Very Nice, I would hate to see how fast you go thru external hard drives.

boneaddict · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2012, 07:19:56 PM »

Funny you say that. I need to go buy a new one. Both had a fish

Those pics are great! The last time that I watched some was at Sekiu. They were sneaking up onto a boat dock and into some guy's boat. They would emerge from his boat with fish bait. (herring) I imagined that when he went to go back out fishing that he probably wondered where his bait went.

Those are amazing critters. They seem to play and have fun just like kids.

Got to watch one eat a perch off the dock this morning. Pretty pics Bone~

boneaddict · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2012, 02:56:57 PM »

Thanks Saylean. Sea otter or river otter?

elkboy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:18:19 PM »

Awesome pics, Boneaddict! The stuff a person can see while hunting or fishing...

quadrafire · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:29:41 PM »

Hey Bone,
Nice pics there.

Would you still have the pics of the wood ducks that were eating the fish or some type of amphibian (mud puppy)? I have looked in through a bunch of old posts, but couldn't find em.
Thanks

As always Bone, great pics!!!

Pic #3, you just might make the cover of the Fishing Reg's with that one.

IronMike · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:54:58 PM »

Awesome Pics Bone!!

Not that I'm a stalker or anything

but the first thing I do when I get on the forum is go to the photography section and see if you've got any new photos. These are great! I sometimes see stuff like this, if I don't have the camera, when I take the camera....nothing.

boneaddict · « **Reply #26 on:** February 15, 2012, 05:23:04 AM »

Thanks guys! First time I saw these guys, like two months ago, my camera was at home. Had my daughter with me, but no camera.

Cool pics Bone, love the variety of wildlife you share with us.

Kowsrule30 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 15, 2012, 04:56:42 PM »

I never knew they had teeth like that!!!!

Would hate to be bit by one of those...

goosegetter79 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 17, 2012, 07:52:58 PM »

As always Bone great pics!! When I use to live in Pullman we use to see river otter in the S. Fork of the Palouse on our property. They were always cool to see!!!!
