Today was a pretty uneventful float on the Catawba River with Jackson Kayaks Pro Staffer Stewart Venable. By uneventful, I mean a ginormous bird of prey performed a Stukka-esque dive bomb on my trusty Bull Shad swimbait in the attempt to devour my precious. Not today bird! I have already lost one swimbait to a fowl foul this season and, By God, I would not stand for making it two. The perpetrator, a rangy looking raptor with an appetite for hard resin and steel, swooped in, claws blazing, on a well placed cast behind an exposed rock. Thank God for short strikes as both anglers swung and missed. The raptor, dubbed Most Interesting Bird In The World, was quoted "I don't often eat swimbaits, but when I do, I prefer Bull Shad."
