Thanks Y'all. The pics were taken at St. Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach Florida. We were camping for the week there in November. I was surf fishing with a bubble rig and this pelican thought my bubble float was a fish and dived on it.I tried to snatch it out of the way but it hit one of the hooks in the lure trailing the float. It gave hardly any fight when I reeled it in. It was barely hooked and was easy to get out of the side of its head. I decided to take a photo op while it was in hand. When I released it, it took of and never looked back.
