Great Blue Heron Steals Mullet

While out fishing last weekend I got a photo of this Great Blue Heron after it decided to steal a mullet from the bucket we had them in.

Ron always uses a cast net to get our bait fish and he also managed to get about a dozen mullet in his net - they are great smoked or blackened!!!

I was over getting something from the SUV so he simply put them in an open bucket since we did not think the Heron would take something this large ! While he did steal the fish, I ran after him and he dropped it - so I got it back again!!!!

The mullet dinner was GREAT!!!!!
