Batchelder and his friends had made their first catch – a small perch – while fishing on Little Sebago Lake when they saw the bald eagle eyeing them from up above, News Center Maine reported.
Quickly, Batchelder set up his GoPro camera and set the perch out on the snow to entice the eagle to come closer.
