Cape Cod Eagle

[The Iceman 6]

Was fishing the back beaches of Cape Cod last week.....It was July 4th....Sunrise session....about 4 am was getting into 4-6 pound blues pretty good....about 4 feet over my head I see this huge Eagle gliding by....was a great sight....on July 4th no less...Didn't really think anything of it...UNTIL I catch another bluefish and bring it out of the surfline...take out my pliers to get the trebles out when the bluefish gets loose on the sand...great, don't have to deal with taking it off my popper...WHEN all of a sudden the Eagle comes out of freakin' nowhere and clips my whole shoulder and arm and swoons down literally 2 feet in front of me and captures the blue...razor sharp claws just tear the blue up...Eagle sits there for a second or two....looks at me like hey buddy this is my beach...no fear....and flies off with the bluefish in his grip....When the Eagle clips me....I scream like a little school girl....jump up and down...minor freak out (maybe major?)...it was was surreal...I was astonished....Next morning I return and there he is again...pretty much the same place....didn't get any blues that morning but sacrificed an eel to Mr. Eagle...next morning same thing...he flew right down to the surf line and was just waiting for me to catch another bluefish....took some pictures which I'll send later (didn't come up that good unfor. as it was dusk and of course when I got really close to it my battery went dead)....this Eagle had no fear of man....Great fishing sessions with the Eagle...
