The bird actually chose a fish that was a bit too big for him and a crowd soon gathered to watch if the bird could actually swallow it. It took about 20 minutes but he did manage. Looked excruciating though.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-82046625074083961122018-01-25T05:53:29.562-08:002018-01-25T05:53:29.562-08:00Dear Cynthia, oh, this blog posting just delighted...Dear Cynthia, oh, this blog posting just delighted me!

Poppy caught a 50 lb. Halibut in Alaska in 1998. We had it dressed and packaged and sent home. It was the best fish I've ever eaten.Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-82882286107668392682018-01-23T13:14:27.997-08:002018-01-23T13:14:27.997-08:00Its been a few years since I first saw all the bea...Its been a few years since I first saw all the beautiful waders in Florida.
