Owls are like the A10 Warthog of birds of prey. They hunt mean, hard and viciously. To see a large owl get mean and nasty on something is pretty creepy, and makes you glad as hell you do not weigh 8lb or less.......
I had a small barred owl land on a post next to me and a friend while we were bass fishing on a light once and my friend was throwing a topwater and the next time he threw it the owl grabbed it and started to fly off with it but luckily it dropped it before he got hooked. He came back and landed on the post again so i put on a cork with no hooks on it and threw it out towards him and he did it again and once he took all the slack out of the line the drag on my reel started screaming until i jerked the rod and later i found out there were claw marks on the float. Thats just a small owl and I've seen an osprey take someone's king bait and their reel was a Penn 706, which is a pretty big spinning reel and they almost got spooled by it
