There was no planning or expensive camera 鈥� there was just a father and son ice fishing, an iPhone 5 and a fluke photo that's getting a whole lot of attention online.

On Monday, Jeremy Kinniburgh was ice fishing on Swan Lake in Vernon with his eight-year-old son Roscoe when an opportunist heron starting watching them carefully.

鈥淩oscoe and I go fishing on Swan Lake quite often over the winter and we've found that the herons like to come and try to steal our fish,鈥� said Kinniburgh.

鈥淲e had been there about 15 minutes when a heron starting watching. He flew to about 20 feet away and stood there.鈥�

Roscoe caught a small perch and was admiring his catch as the heron crept closer.

鈥淭he heron took a step at a time, moving closer and moving closer. All of the sudden it grabbed it and Roscoe yelled 鈥淣o!鈥� as it flew up into the air.

鈥淵ou can see the trail of footprints as it walked in from the side, it put its head down, got sneaky and then grabbed it. Roscoe yelled and it took off towards me with open wings, it was pretty cool.鈥�

Kinniburgh managed to catch that one epic shot with just his iPhone 5.

鈥淚 managed to catch the random, perfect shot on a iPhone with a scratched screen. It was pretty crazy. I got lucky,鈥� said Kinniburgh.

鈥淚t was perfect lighting and you can even see the fish in the bird's mouth.鈥�

He said Roscoe was a little sad he lost his fish, but glad the bird got dinner and that his dad had a good photo of the scene.

鈥淭hey are huge birds so it was cool for him to see it that close to him as well.鈥�

The photo was send into the Vernon Morning Star and . It quickly received hundreds of reactions, shares and comments.

It was also posted on the other Black Press Okanagan paper's social media accounts, receiving hundreds more reactions, likes, shares and comments.

鈥淚t has been nuts, the shares alone have been hilarious, it's amazing,鈥� said Kinniburgh.

鈥淚t's fun when something like that happens, to see people from all over Canada sharing and enjoying the photo. It is pretty neat.鈥�

As for Roscoe, Kinniburgh said he is eagerly waiting to see his photo in the Vernon Morning Star Friday morning.
