I was shooting 5 frames a second, pretty much stationary, 35 frames so I am thinking 7 seconds plus or minus.
Then that was fairly quick for that fish. I once saw a GBH struggle to swallow a largemouth bass. I watched for over ten minutes and the fishes tail was still visible. (I know it was over ten minutes because my wife informed me so.) It is amazing to see them consume something so large.
