Fishing Sequence | Kent Jarrett Photography

Last Friday 2/7/14 was a perfect day for me at Lock and Dam 14. I am guessing 80 to 100 photographers were there. I arrived around 10:30 am negative 9 degrees (-9), warmed up to a balmy 14 when I left 6 1/2 hours later. The action was non stop 1297 activations. I have TONS to edit, I even had to back up because I was clipping too many wings with the 500mm. Several of the local guys I know over there switched to 70-200mm. I didn’t take mine that day, so I was forced to stay with the 1DX and my trusty 500mm.

Have I told anybody lately how pleased I am with my Canon 1DX purchase and my 500mm pairing!!!!

A complete fishing series of 8 captured at 14 FPS. This was one of the first time I have witness an adult miss the fish. L&D 14 has taken some heat lately for baiting but I was there both Friday 2/7 and Saturday 2/8 in the snow and I witnessed NO baiting.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got the best Canon body made. I received my new 1DX the Wednesday before Christmas. I got it early for Eagles. Then the weather turned cold which made the eagles 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule. They are already South of the Quad Cities. I wanted more time to get used to the body before going into battle, but I went into battle with a one night crash course!

Here are a few series of Fishing Eagles.
