Sacramento River, Ca
7D2, 500/F4+1.4, F8, 1/1250, ISO 800, -0.33 EC, tripod, large crop.
Lots of fisherman on the river, but this was the largest trout I saw landed.  Surfaced and swallowed in about 2 seconds.  Thanks for any comments or suggestions, Dave

Holy moly! That's like an anaconda swallowing a large prey. Well, he won't have to eat again this week! :D
