Can't beat a stretch after a good meal! I didn't recognize what he caught, but it looked like an eel. This stretch of river is salt water/tidal, about 3 miles from the Pacific Ocean, in South Surrey, B.C. I am pretty sure this is a Great Blue Heron, that feeds on fish and shore rodents, like moles. Read somewhere, occassionally they choke and die, if they bite off more than they can CHEW, as in larger fish.

Shot on Vancouver Island, British Columbia- About the park from goldstreampark.com
Just 17 kilometers from downtown Victoria, Goldstream Provincial Park lies amid the splendour of an old-growth temperate rain forest. There you can see a world class salmon-spawning stream with thousands of Chum Salmon returning between October and December. It doesn't stop there. During this amazing time of year you can visit the park and it's always-changing Visitor Centre. The centre is named after Freeman King, an early naturalist who probably reached more children than any other naturalist on Vancouver Island. The centre is at the mouth of the river, overlooking the Goldstream estuary, nestled among giant black cottonwoods and red alder trees.
