In the hour or so while I watched, two Cormorants landed, and I watched one come up with a stocked trout TWICE! You could watch the fish slide down the birds throat as it swallowed it. That was in an hour! And it was long past when that lake was stocked, so I'm sure they were feeding there regularly.
We laughed about how all my ultralight equipment couldn't outfish a bird.
Hard to compete with millions of years of evolution.
