Bird Versus Pike: Bird Wins!
Bird Versus Pike: Bird Wins! :doah:

 :reporter; I know the photos have been around for a while

Pike are known as one of the most aggressive freshwater fish. They attack and eat just about anything that lands in the water, including ducks, mice and many other small creatures. I always figured that the pike had no natural predators, but these photos prove otherwise.

If this bird looks familiar to you, its called a cormorant and was featured on last years Survivor China where local fishermen used them to catch small fish.

Here's a clip on how these birds are used for fishing in China.

Re: Bird Versus Pike: Bird Wins!
Does anyone think that this was a mortally hooked pike/floater...or that the cormorant actually dove and got this fish.

Aggressiveness to me has nothing to do with this picture. I really think the pike could outswim this bird, and it was a dead fish from the get-go just caught on film getting eaten. Not sticking up for these cormorants, just wondering if anyone else doubts this.

Re: Bird Versus Pike: Bird Wins!
I remember when I was younger and the neighbors used to shoot these for practice before hunting season started. i used to watch. I think there should be a season on them. They kill the trees they roost in.

Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.
