First time I've ever seen this. I was only focused on the DCC because there was nothing else to shoot that morning. I was shocked when it came up with this baby leopard shark

Those eyes are beautiful and great catch, too. I don't remember seeing a cormorant image with leopard shark. Thanks for sharing!

Great catch for both of you. Might be too big for the bird.

Amazing sight Richard! That's some catch for the cormorant - and you!

It’s amazing how big of a fish birds can swallow. I have watched Great Blue Herons three times swallow carp around 15”” long and very big around. Great and unique capture. I hope he didn’t get heartburn!
