There are many times when I nearly lost my life, but this one is the craziest. So, there I was, sitting in a kayak on the Rappahannock River in July of ‘07. The day was hot and the fish weren’t biting. So, I decided to pull my line in for a while. Then, I heard the first scream, then another. I looked around to see an osprey flying like a streak of lightning right in front of me. In his talons was a fish. Behind him, hot on his tail, was a grand Bald Eagle. The bird was huge. It was chasing him for his fish. Suddenly, the two turned toward me and were heading right in my direction. About 50 feet out, the osprey let go of the fish and the thing made an arc directly at my kayak. My heart nearly skipped a beat. It wasn’t the fish, however, that scared me. As that fish fell, the Bald Eagle stayed right on it, heading directly for me. I prepared myself to be met with about 50 pounds of muscle and feathers, like a bowling ball hitting me from out of the sky. Luckily, about ten feet from me, he hooked a hard right and left me unharmed. Within seconds, both birds were gone, the fish was floating in the water, and I had learned that life is always unpredictable, even on hot days on the Rappahannock.
