Giant blue fin eats a seagull
« on: May 11, 2013, 04:04:38 AM »
I'm sitting watching the outdoor channel and some fellas are trwing bait fish to some 600 to 1000 # Bluefin Tuna. The guy throws a fish and a seagull dives on it. Well when the bird hits the water a huge bluefin hits the fish and the bird! and is gone.  wish I had it on video. I'll check youtube.

I live on the shore here in CT. I go off shore allot in the summer for Stripped Bass and Bluefish.  Every year I am amazed that more gulls don't get eaten.. Well last year in a hell of a Bluefish Blitz, I watched a big great black back gull. (Normally fearless as they are big) Well a good bluefish grabbed him by the feet and pulled him into the water. This happens allot as I see many gulls with only one foot. but then as he is flopping on the surface, one or more blues grab his wing then he goes under...  Quite a site to see!

I'm telling ya! The guy that threw the bait fish looked at the camera man and yelled " Tell me you got that" he was is shock I had to back it up and see it several times. Words cant describe it well enough. I mean that bird hit the bait and the blue fin hit the bird at the exact same instant! No even feathers left!
