My Son Tyler caught a loon once.

He said it made all kinds of racket, and they have claws on their feet apparently.

When he finally got it unhooked, it dropped to the floor and did a penguin-style slide across the floor of the boat, up onto the rear splashwell and belly-slid over the transom into the water lickitty-split.

Just like a penguin he said.

He said he did not appreciate the claws very much.
