Another Bird Story...But With an Unfamiliar Twist

Most bass fishermen have their own stories about birds that have gone after their topwater lures at one time or another. Here's the tale, though, about a clumsy bird that made for one heckuva story for a Kansas motorist back in late October 2019.

As reported in a whole host of different local news outlets at the time, William Myers was driving toward Hardtner, KS, on Highway 281 when he saw a hawk trying to fly and carry something in its claws. While taking off, the bird dropped what was in its claws.

Said Myers, "I thought the bird was going to break my windshield when it hit my F-150, but it finally went over the top."

Believing that the crisis was averted, Myers continued on his way home. Once there, he got out of his pickup and went inside, completely oblivious to anything different about his truck.

"It wasn't until about two hours later," said Myers, "when I went out to move my pickup, that I saw something sticking out the grill. It turned out to be a 12-inch bass."
