Osprey, Sushi lunch

We were driving back into the John Prince Park Campground and saw an Osprey that had just caught a big fish. The fish was huge and the bird had all she could do to get airbourne with it. The wind was heavy and the Osprey worked with it to gain altitude, very impressive. The Osprey got up in a tree and settled down for a Sushi lunch. I got the video. I hope it posts OK. Note the big head on the fish, the girth of the fish and that the tail sticks out below the branch. Very big fish. Large mouth bass?
