There is a very neat video at the linked page.
Killer whales do it to seal pups in Patagonia.
There was a video of turtles swarming a wading bird at an African waterhole and dragging it in - left me feeling very queasy even though you can’t see any gore.
It doesn’t seem fair that water creatures should come out to attack land creatures, but I guess land and air creatures go in the water to hunt - turnabout and all that.

I’ve had Brown trout chase my lure 12”-18” up a gravel bank. :-)
Maybe I should try pigeon feathers....?
I thought catfish were bottom feeders
Might simply be bad eyesight, the fish has trouble seeing where the water stops and the air begins. Once in the lunge you’re commited.
O' BS...
Many years ago fishing in Lake Fork in Texas...caught several catfish and in the mist of cleaning them...as in cutting their heads off and skinning them...one "head" jumped about 8 inches across the board I was using to clean them and latched onto my thumb and put a nice wound in it...
