Title: Osprey!
Post by: Mike on April 24, 2012, 01:03:13 AM: This video is amazing!

This guy is a WAAAAY better flyer than Chuck! ;D

I like the last part where he catches a fish so big he can't fly out of ground effect....

That is an awesome video of an awesome aviating fisherman! Makes me realize how big an amateur I am while watching it.
