these are all cool stories. i have had alot but the one that stands out in my mind is fishing down on minersville in float tubes about three years ago. me and my buddy were catching those chubs on flies because we couldnt keep them off our lines long enough to actually trout fish. I had remembered seeing 5 or 6 very large birds soaring around in the air at the time. Which today i still dont know what kind they are. Almost look like a seagull but with a forked tail like a swallow and nearly the size of a golden eagle. Very large bird. So the day gos on and my buddy reals up a chub and has a hard time with the release. I happened to notice this bird coming down in elevation, and just out of nowhere tucks into a full on turbo dive towards the water. Well I realize whats happening and im screaming at my buddy HEY HEY look up look up. Of course he is just far enough away that he pulls the, put your hand to your ear and make a funny face, what did you say.
So times running out he is going to be a hood ornament on the end of a birds beak in 4 seconds unless something happens. He happens to look up and even though he is a good distance away I swear to this day I could see every detail on his face. Without words to describe probably the funniest thing I have ever seen knowing what that person is thinking. Well he rears back almost flips his tube the bird stops its flight its flayling to not hit since it just noticed ooops thats something i dont want to eat anymore. The bird misses his head by about 3 feet or so. Im not one to laugh at others misfortunes but. .... it was the most interesting, and comical, things i have ever seen.
