Two cases of weird and wacky in the great outdoors

(CBS News) There's a reason why it's called "the great outdoors." It's big, grand, full of adventure and mystery. (Oh, and also outdoors.) So, occasionally, some pretty weird and wacky stuff happens in it, too. Here are two examples of the latter starting with a case of one fish and two very different "fishermen." (Spoiler: one of the two may or may not actually be an eagle.)

The caught-on-camera moment of a "big fish tale" (that appears to be both true and provable in this case) was posted by YouTube user Norman Dreger who writes:

This Eagle stole a beautiful Dolly Varden Char right off of my hook, then took all my backing and stole my fly too!

It's a real shame about your catch there, Norman, but the video and story from this seem like they're well worth the loss! Up next, we shift from a visual oddity to an auditory question from YouTube user Cari Scholtens: what happens when you throw a golf ball across a frozen lake? Not quite sure? Then go ahead and find out by clicking play on the fascinating experiment below.
