Right, I have seen them already some times to have a much bigger catch, don't know how they eat all, and whenever they are, they are so calm like in trance or sth. and they can stay like this for a really long time...
Nice catch! That's a big lunch. :-)
Tnx, suppose it's lunch time in your time zone ;) but actually this was spotted around 1/2 pm my time, really lunch time :)
Nice title :)
Good timing, too!
