This week’s Friendly Friday challenge theme is ‘Surprise.’ See more responses here.
I see a lot of fishermen when I’m out walking and they undoubtedly catch fish, but I never see them doing so. I’m as good at getting photos of that moment as I am at catching fish myself.
When I first saw this fisherman he was reeling in an empty line, as per usual. I kept walking, but moments later I heard a cry, turned to look, and saw him winding away on his line. I nipped back to take photos, fully expecting it to be a false alarm – his line was snagged in the rocks or he’d hooked some debris. So I was surprised when he hauled this fish from the water. I don’t know what kind it was, but it was a decent size and probably destined to be that evening’s supper.
Certainly a surprise for you to see that moment of the big catch! Gorgeous coloured surf too. I see you used the rule of thirds well for your subject, too.
Well done.

Thanks. It’s amazing that I haven’t seen this scene before really, given how much time I spend on the coast.

I agree. But it only lasts but a few moments.
