tweeters: yet ANOTHER bird-fish story! (Is this really non-competitive?)

Late on the last day of the 1963 Fishing Tournament in the Bay of Panama,
two friends and I were casting (spinning gear, 10-lb line, 7/8 oz lure)
into a school of Red Snappers "boiling" at the surface. The Snappers
were attacking a large school small fish, locally called "anchovies".
On one cast, a Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) flew
below the line and became entangled. Easily retrieved, the bird was immobilized,
hooded and examined for injury (none found). Within the
next 30 minutes, the bird was taken to the Judges, awarded First Prize
for Most Unusual Catch and released.......none the worse but perhaps
no wiser! Nor did it take home its little plastic "trophy".

a Buaidh!
