Yesterday was my first day of true summertime perch fishing. Worked the rocks along the shoreline by my house after dinner to see what I could catch. Between my dad and I, we caught probaby 8 perch, all were "eating size", even though they were released. 10 Minutes in, I hooked a channel catfish that I though was a snag. Pretty good size considering I caught it 10 feet from shore.

While all this was going on, a great blue heron was intently watching us catch all these fish. Every time I brought a perch out of the water, he took a step towards me.

So after catching my final perch, I tossed it onto the grass and sent the heron home with a meal. It was fascinating to watch that bird pickup the fish and carry it away.

This was not my first time feeding animals, as on a regular basis a white and orange cat follows me around as I fish the shoreline. Begging, and eventualy getting one of my perch.
All around, a pretty solid evening.
