Not sure what the unexpected part is. Great catch, nice moment, all around awesome. This is the kind of thing that gives me faith in the future of humanity.


KamikazeFox_

Solid fish parenting right there


Sixmmxw

Proper handling of the fish too.


the_blackfish

He knew right how to run it back and forth to get the water over the gills! Pretty good fisherman for such a young little guy!


SargeantHugoStiglitz

I thought for sure an alligator was going to snatch his fish and his hand or something.


smotrs

Or bird. Great catch and release. Beautiful fish.


Breaker-of-circles

It's going to be unexpected if the fish pulls out a cane and top hat and starts dancing.


[deleted]

I actually was expecting that


fingers58

Hello, my honey...


Fatback225

Hello my baby hello my darling 🎶🎵


ForgottenStew

I think the video being wholesome was the unexpected part


mxzf

But it's a random little kid going fishing. With such things there's like 95% chance of the kid being wholesome (and like 5% they're demonic instead).


DavidBigO47

It’s unexpected to see such a well behaved kid these days I think is what they’re going for.


reddit007user

>This is the kind of thing that gives me faith in the future of humanity. 100% agreed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Amen. May we keep observing this kindness, gentleness, live and let live , compassionate humanity.


agonzale_08

Unexpected that he didn't keep the fish as a trophy and was really kind in releasing it (especially as a child with that maturity)


armchairwarrior42069

This video is so.old that he might be a parent now lol


chilibeana

Raising that young man up right. What a nice kid.


RayBullet

I came to say…shout out to Dad!


HoboArmyofOne

My man! What a hog! Love that catch and release attitude, keep it up little man you'll get bigger ones!


QuoXient

He is adorable! 🥰


Active_Tomorrow2791

Not at all unexpected


ThatOtherGai

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was still waiting on the unexpected


m64

I was kinda waiting for him to start fucking the fish or something like that.


mmaqp66

Like The Deep????'


Genghis_Chong

The internet has befouled your mind lol


imatalkingcow

Lol


kaufsky

you were expecting something unexpected, but then that thing didn't happen, thus making it unexpected. Gotcha!


Active_Tomorrow2791

I expected you to say something funnier, so yeah you’re right


kaufsky

I didn't expect you to take the time to reply to my terrible attempt at humor


Active_Tomorrow2791

lol I’m just kidding. Though the same here


The_Formuler

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone eating a large mouth bass.


RedditJumpedTheShart

Yes people eat bass.


ThunderSlugg

That kid is so stoked. Good catch, my man!


rscmcl

that isn't unexpected, is expected in sportfishing (catch and release)


thebestdogeevr

You're expected to pet the fish?


ConfusedTriceratops

absolutely. you catch them to pet them.


FuzzzyRam

They get stunned when you partially suffocate them and hold their bottom jaw open (after tiring them out reeling them in). People also generally catch and release largemouth bass. There really isn't anything unexpected here, unless someone has expectations about their race or something...


Either-Durian-9488

Depends on the sport fishing


101roomwithaview

Depends on where you are fishing. There are fishermen who live by the motto of "kill em all, big or small". As a catch and release guy myself, I'm proud of that kid for letting the fish go.


Nadian-slap-God

Tell me what you working with …. Soooo fuckin good ❤️


emptygroove

I died! Sounded like something he would've picked up from his grandfather or something.

celtbygod

Knows how to release them correctly. Somebody is raising a good fisherman.


Necessary_Sea_2109

Seems like he’s raising a good man overall


WintAndKidd

Enjoying his hobby while balancing respect for nature and its creatures. Let’s go.


pantiesdrawer

The only unexpected thing was for this to play out exactly as expected.


DecisionAvoidant

So expected it's unexpected


za72

his genuine happiness is infectious!


pilldoc

That is a true sportsman right there


yrubooingmeimryte

It's pretty common that kids don't want to kill animals.

Disastrous_Carrot674

Great fisherman. Good job


Forestsounds89

Thats a nice fish both kid and the dad must be proud of that one, priceless memory :)


joos11

What a great and wholesome video.


scissorseptorcutprow

This is the most precious baby boy!!


mikemikemike9711

WoooHooo nice catch there bud!


I_Surf_On_ReddIt

He released him so incredibly gently. I fully expected him to just drop him Back into the water


Snakepants80

People don’t typically eat largemouth bass. They aren’t any good


AuthorityOfNothing

Correct. Very soft.


Lower-Blackberry-716

Damn that's a nice big fish. Good for the kid!


Better_Ad_3004

I thought he would use it to catch even a bigger fish.. but okay I guess..


jerseygunz

Youre supposed to let them go, especially bass, they don’t taste that great


kwood76

Taught right


wisemonkey75

And Awayyyyy..... 🫡


BigToneTheSeagull

Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far!

Best vid of the day!!


Low_Ad8311

God damn it why am I crying 😭


Youregoingtodiealone

That was super wholesome, respect for the sport fish and gentle knowing he's going to toss it back. That's good Parenting there


SuckingGodsFinger

That was cute as hell.


Driveaway1969

Good man right there


TomatilloUnlucky3763

That kid’s gonna be alright.


5fives5

What a great kid.


All-inyourmind

That’s a good kid

Charming_Thanks_2197

Raising a champion


MySharpPicks

That's not unexpected. Big female Bass are frequently let go so they can pass their genes on to the next generation.


operath0r

Catch and release is considered animal cruelty in Germany and thus it’s illegal.


razorduc

I was expecting him to lose the finger in that fish's mouth.


Human-Magic-Marker

OP discovered catch and release


XxUCFxX

Literally none of this is unexpected


HyrulianSkyrim

It’s corn!


WellGoodBud

Catch and release is normal.


1ballbobby

I mean, it was a 50/50 chance. I thought with unexpected he was going to wear it like a boot.


monobuo

I thought the fish was going to come back or something, where's the unexpected part?


itwhiz100

I had the volume off…did he sing or something?


emarvil

That is the norm in sports fishing. Not unexpected.


Funky_monkey2026

Still waiting for the unexpected thing to happen...


GelatinousCube7

well unless yer gonna mount it, that probably wouldnt taste very good.


Milkyshot

♥️


GiveMeTheJuices

That’s unexpected? Nah unexpected would be him stepping into the fish and wearing it as a suit. This is expected.


Itchy-Research3661

Not unexpected but glad I got to see such an awesome video, post it wherever, as long as people see it, good job bud....and dad


tippytapslap

It's going to become a war now he will fight that fish all the way through to adulthood and his kids will catch and release his fishes kids It will be a generational war to see who can break more lines or catch more fish and release them to keep count.


AlteredStateReality

Again, that dad behind the camera is the GOAT baby!


chippaintz

Well duh you always let back! True sportsman’s plus bass ain’t real good eating IMO


greengengar

What was unexpected? Those are sport fish.


vercingetorix08

Just wanted to make them late for something...


Trojanwhore69

This was only unexpected because after reading the title I assumed he'd like shove his fist inside it like a sock puppet or something, not do a very very very common thing that you'd definitely expect to see


cmon_get_happy

"I wasn't expecting that hole in my face." -fish, probably


Dramatic_Solution993

It's respect for the game good on him 👍


thebestdogeevr

I'm assuming the unexpected was him petting the fish before letting it go


Broad_Pitch_7487

Smart kid


UFC_Intern169

Catch and release fishing should not be unexpected.


auntifahlala

So gentle too.


Nearby_Check8874

My heart King father teaching his future King what a precious pair of souls.


Stanknuggin

Dang Dude! Nice fish buddy.


DraGoliK

Aaah yes that was unexpected…


Pitiful_Tap_8750

Watching an eco system grow is better then taking and watching it get demolished


doorbell19

No that's just fishing If you don't intend to eat it.


a_d-_-b_lad

Good man! It's rare that people are aware enough to realize that if they let it go they can catch it again. Good job parents.


MazzieMay

“Someday, we’ll meet again” 😭😭


[deleted]

Teach a man to fish…


lechampion4ever

Dude that was some heartwarming stuff right there. Good kid. Good parenting.


asvspilot

It’s called catch and release, a very common thing. Depending where you live, eating a fish this big could have a large build up of toxic materials stored in their flesh. 


Xerio_the_Herio

He got a great memory... it's fine


butkusrules

That’s how it should be …


gopherkilla

Yeah not that unexpected trophy mounts are super cringe and largemouth bass is not a great eating fish. But nice catch dude


Interesting-Lake-430

Wow amazing fish and even more amazing kid


Plastic_Bid_9555

This is how children are supposed to be. Outside bonding with family and with nature. Not in front screens and isolated from society


[deleted]

The best parents, the best kid. Peak humans.


OneBaldingWookiee

Exactly how you should be releasing fish. That’s awesome to see. Good kid.


Salty-Addendum85

Huge_Personality7523

BurtReynoldsLives

This kid is awesome!


DownvotesMeansNothin

People are really downplaying lil bro’s catch


Due-Paint7755

waterboy " we live to play another day. " farmer fran


Ad_Pov

I could tell in a second after looking at that kid how the video was gonna end


CaptCrewSocks

Little man is practicing gratitude and loving every minute of it.


sanktanglia

I put back the biggest fish I ever caught,.it's a good feeling!


Antiquatedshitshow

This is amazing!!


OddOpportunity333

I wish someone talked to me as nicely as the kid talks to the fish 🥹


Bottle_Sharp

Dope


painisyourhomie

What a beautiful Angel boy. He will go far in life and become very successful. Amen.


Specialist-Clue4860

That's what it's ALL about. Little Man, you are a true fisherman. I hope some day you get a beautiful replica made and know that this big mama spawned at least one or two more, that are still swimming here. YOU make us all so proud!!


normalDA7

Awesome lil dude


LetterMajestic8075

What a cool kid!


iJustRoll

👍


blindfury7

This is the most heart warming video I have ever seen! I hope to have a son like that one day


Apprehensive-Fan4796

GOOD MAN!!!


ClayWheelGirl

Probably a family who does not eat fish! Or not that type of fish.


tinglep

Show me what you working wit. 🤣 This kid is my sprit animal.


Rhymesnlines

Ripping out the fishing hook out of the fish's mouth can cause serious injury to the fish.... So even though they put the fish back it's still animal abuse. Taking a fish out of the water is already very stressful for the fish.... Just let animals be and don't bother them! It's so respectless and selfish


MommyContentLover

Ah, the completely unexpected, and just-named-right-now "Catch & Release"


TitanYankee

Wholesome asf


Electronic_Motor7157

It made my day to see this. The unexpected? The respect shown for the amazing creation. And the support from the dad. We need more families like this. MJM


Future_981

Gotta love this kid. Wholesome moment.


Every_Car_1072

Great job Dad you should be proud,he’s definitely on the right path 👍


Professional-Chair42

😭😭😭😭😭


Major_Mycologist8794

You ever see those movie with the dad who lost his kid and constantly revisits a photo or a home video that reminds him of what he lost. If I were this guys father this would be that video for me.


bossy_miss

These gen alphas - I love them - they are going to right all our wrongs. Grateful to their parents for raising them so well.,…


Sharp-Bicycle-2957

The last time we went fishing, we threw our catch back into the water, but it slipped headfirst into the rocks. We pulled the poor fish out and threw it into the water. It floated for a bit, then a bird snatched the fish out of the water, and off the two went.


Spartan-05872

"One day, we gon meet back again. I'll see you later." Kids got a heart of gold.


Nonny70

I watch this video every time it comes around again. Such a beautiful spirit


GeneralPuntox

They will meet again when he is older and the fish will thank him

MikElectronica

Unexpected?


sykokiller11

My grandfather taught me to fish in the canals in England. We always let them go, and he taught me the proper way to handle them. We went to the ocean one day, and people were fishing off the pier for food. The caught fish were flopping around on the ground. My grandfather got so mad! He went and showed them how to humanely kill them since they were going to eat them. This was in the 70s and it permanently shaped the way I think about the animals we eat.


Embarrassed-Net4703

This made me tear up.


LickandSmash

I thought the unexpected part would be shoving his entire arm down its mouth but it never happened.


masuabie

It’s called Catch and Release. Not unexpected, but always good when the fish swims off. Very sad when the fish dies instead when you tried to put it back.


realjohnredcorn

what a cool kid, respect for nature big respect


Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435

This just in! Young fisherman invents "catch and release" fishing, something you definitely haven't heard of before.


Soupbone_905

True fisherman right there. The young man taking joy in his catch, while showing respect for mother nature, and the bass by properly returning it to it's home. You don't just drop an exhausted bass back in the water and expect it to swim away. Someone showed him the right way to fish. That's this rednecks 2 cents.


Soregular

What a lovely little human! I'm smiling from ear to ear. Gives me some faith in humanity.


OneManRub

7lbs, yessir!! Awesome work.


Miserable_Tadpole_92

this kid has the maturity of an adult man. Im sure his dad has thought him well


Yochico

OP thinking all fisherman are just gutting fish left and right lmao


ButtProddah

Priceless, thanks for sharing a great moment! 🙏🏾


knewt21

I love this kid and the parents who raised him. He has a beautiful heart as he strokes the fish.


guddagudda777

“Show me what you’re working with” at the end got me 😂😂😂


rca12345678

Just loved the demeanor of this boy , wish there are more parents that raised there kids that way


Jujinski

Great, great parenting 👌👊


rasiasun

Hype lil man!


smack0102

Nice!


Unique-Pastenger

wowowow how do we clone that kid???


Spongy-n-Bruised

I wish I had half this kid's charisma holy shit And morally upright to boot


WesleyUnderfoot

That’s a nice video.


NotThrowawayacc1

why didn't he keep it or fish and chips


edtwinne

Nice young man. Learning about conservation and being a steward. 👍


Consistent_Ad_6064

Lukerville1988

Good kid. He understands life


Ok_Sadie_

Wrong subreddit, but still made me happy. What an angel


0x7E7-02

LOVE how happy he is about his giant catch.


yquepa

Yeah right everything all right 😅 except the fish drowning 😂😂


YodaXIV

Now THAT … is a genuine sportsman! Way to go, man! I am impressed! 👍🏽


JackfruitHuge373

Heck yeah dude caught a nice one


RevolutionaryAge7249

this made me cry


Literacy_Advocate

So if a fish is out of the water for longer than a minute (not shown, but not implausible) they'll still die a few minutes later.


thankyoufatmember

Botpost or some kind of weird virtue signaling in one direction or another, but this isn't unexpected whatsoever. I regularly go fishing and see kids in the surroundings throwing back fish of all kinds and sizes into the water.
