From Thompson Okanagan Fishing FB page shared by Christian Sasse:

My buddy and I fishing were at Gardom Lake friday. Didn't catch anything but then this eagle swooped in out of nowhere and landed on the boat. It ended up on my head and shoulders. Took a bite of my arm and talon holes in my shirt! A life experience for sure!
