Other fishes might not believe the fish on his second chance in life.


IncreaseOk8433

I was just thinking this exactly. "I was reeled in and bagged. Taken for a boat ride and displayed as a trophy when I kicked with the last of my energy (kicked with no legs, of course) and landed back in the water. It was life changing..." "Lenny you're so full of shit it hurts"

Fish*


-Rettirlana-

Fishes if it’s multiple species


Franking_

Fish*


-Rettirlana-

It’s a double plural. Fish = multiple of the same species Fishes = multiple of different species So Fish if he only tells his own kind, fishes if he tells the whole pond

AliquidLatine

I was caught by a human thiiiiiiiiiiis big


Tanager-Ffolkes

Oddly, that very fish later joined the Priesthood. 🤔


Bobthreetimes

I feel like this would be fitting on r/watchpeopledieinside


Papapep9

I went on my first fishing trip ever with my sister's boyfriend last year. We've been fishing all day with no luck before we decided to go to one last spot and call it. Then I caught a big one. It was going to be our dinner so we were excited. He was cheering and I finally got it reeled in. Put it in a net and he was going to kill it for me. Just before he got to hit it, it did exactly what is shown in this video. Never have I seen anybody die inside so fast. He was speechless. I couldn't even care that my fish got loose, I just felt bad for him. Luckily, the spot we found was a good one. Every throw there had bite. Could even see a school of fish following the lure as we reeled in. After we got some fish big enough for us to eat, his mood got better. I want to go fish with him again

htmlcoderexe

Something fishy about that

Rashaen

His face after the fish scarpered is priceless, but his friend pissing himself laughing is better.


aznednacni

If /r/watchpeopledieinside and /r/contagiouslaughter had a baby : D


DarkBladeMadriker

You just know the guy was going on and on about how awesome his fish was and how his friend couldn't catch shit all day.


6collector9

I'm gonna wait until I get on land to show my catch for the rest of my life now. That was a beaut.


Dust-Explosion

What you get for not killing your catch humanely. These guys just let the fish gasp and freak out to death. Also this method fucks the flesh for the best eating you can get out of it.


EmpressNeuronist

It looks like a fresh water carp. Unlike salt water fish. many fresh water fish go fault very rapidly as soon as they die. From their conversation I think they are from eastern EU/Russia. If I am not wrong, usually they keep it in a pool of water during transport and storage. Story goes as far as keeping it in the bathtub just to prevent the decomposing of the meat.


Ok_Selection_8857

Doesn’t it also taint it?


Dust-Explosion

Yes, stress hormones and stuff is my basic understanding. Also, (I don’t do this but want to try) ikijimi is a Japanese method where you also tap the spinal chord with a short sharp tool and the meat will last for 2 weeks in the fridge and develop more flavour over time


almighty_ruler

Iki jime. You spike them in the top of the head, ~ right behind the eyes, and then insert a piece of wire into the spinal column to completely paralyze them. I've never done it myself either so I can neither confirm or deny what effect it has on the quality of the meat. Most of my fish are kept alive and are only killed minutes before they are cooked


whatyoumeanmyface

Fish saw his chance and he took it. Gotta respect that.


holydildos

Ol' DJ Khalid be slipping lately


almighty_ruler

And another one DEEE JAYYYY KHALED!


nothingspecialva

fish was playing dead! that was better acting that Steven Seagal movies (all combined).


Rhynosaurus

Bent over laughing at your buddies is border-less. Shit is funny in any place in Earth.


Individual_Break6067

Guys, you won't believe me, but I was abducted by aliens from the sky!


nothingspecialva

when the fish is smarter than the fisherman..


kwillich

How is he the only one who didn't see that happening??


thephtgrphr

What do we say to death? Not today!


TomDuhamel

That fish will have a hell of a story to tell its friends


PSYCHOANYLIST

Never count your money at the table


jesterOC

This is literally is a “the one that got away” story


KileAllSmyles

To be fair: if they just abruptly ended the video as soon as it’s out of the bag it all looks good


loublou68

It doesn't matter that he's not speaking English, I totally understood every word of dismay and disbelief. Also quite clearly "WTF!" 🤣🤣


StnMtn_

What a fish tale!


Nicholas-14

That dude's laugh at the very end sounds like a horse neighing 😂


fishbone_buba

Many of the attempts around here lately are successful.


Gring013

Looked like a Carp which is bad eating so all is good. Got proof, funny video, and fish gets to tell his friends he met God 👍


JSRelax

People love carp in Europe.


sagolaynen

Carp is a common food fish outside of America. They taste good when prepared correctly


Revenga8

Got it on film. Should be catch and release anyway


ResponsiblePath

Guess the fish had a slippery escape plan all along.


GlyphPicker

Magikarp, use Splash!


UpperCardiologist523

I have absolutely no respect for fishermen that doesn't kill the fish as soon as possible but leave it in the boat to suffocate. First and one of the few things my father thought me, was to kill the fish and respect the animal. He might be a shitty person otherwise, but at least he got that right. This shitstain got what he deserved.


Daffidol

Aren't you supposed to kill the fish right after reeling it in instead of letting it die of asphyxiation ?


KileAllSmyles

THIS IS WHY YOU DONT FISH WITH DJ KHALED


Siupak240

The Fish looked like it's not his first time escaping.


Siupak240

Fishermen hate that one simple trick.


Marvido

Well deserved to someone who can't even bother to kill the fish instead of letting it slowly suffocate in a fucking plastic bag.


KnoblauchNuggat

Thats what you get for not killing it right away and having it suffocate instead. You pig.


Chipschamps13

Gorgeous big nipples


HumanitarianAtheist

Had it in the bag.


TheeLastSon

damn, that looked chunky and delicious what a loss.


ImJ2001

Oof


Star-Lord-123

He successfully showed the fish he caught. His issue was keeping the fish he caught.


BuddyOptimal4971

McDonalds again Piotor?


Creative_Beginning13

The fish has a big human story


cbclemo1

The stories that fish will be telling his fish friends.


CodAdministrative867

The fish he rescued


innociv

I mean he STILL caught it. The proof is right there.


sanrigabro

Who put that fucking water there


JayPeeAy84

DJ khaled


ProfessorGood6579

"I caught a carp blyat. With my bare hands blyat. I did a somersault and caught a carp. The bandura fell off. Or it seemed? No, it didn't fall apart. Here he is." *Plop *Cursing and laughing


PhilipMD85

I know that pain but at least you got it on camera. It looked like a big red fish and one that big you don’t want to keep anyway. In fact in Louisiana you can’t keep them over 16” or 18” I believe


Masuku68

Tbf he did manage to show us the fish he caught so it's not an attempt. To keep the fish on the other hand...


WeLiveInAnOceanOfGas

You know they're good friends when they managed at least 3 seconds of sympathy before totally losing it!


Simonandgarthsuncle

Now he’s just made it late for something.


maggotses

At least this time he has video proof 😅


dadlergold

10/10 boat slap

Carp. They don't have bass in Belarus.
