A Minnesota couple caught a spectacular sight on the St. Croix River, near Minneapolis.
Dan Goff and his wife captured video that has now gone viral of a bald eagle dragging ashore a huge fish.
In the video posted online this week, Goff can be heard saying the eagle's wingspan is about six feet, and the fish is equally as long.
He initially though the bird of prey was injured, but soon realized it was wrestling with a giant "muskie" or muskellunge.
The muskellunge is the largest member of the pike family.
Goff's video shows the eagle digging in its talons and dragging the big fish ashore.
The fish makes a brief bid at freedom, but is quickly corralled by the eagle's powerful grip.
