While motoring out to do some perch fishing (10/6, 1:30PM), we noticed a
very dark, gull-sized bird sitting alone on the water.  As we got closer,
the bird lifted off and proved to be a dark, juvenile Parasitic Jaeger.  We
were running along beside it (at roughly 20-30 yards away) which gave us
excellent looks at it in flight.

Normally, by-catch when perch fishing is white bass or sheephead.  This
day, we were much more fortunate.
