Hilarious Russian Ice Fishing FAIL Video | In Russia, Fish Steal Your Rod & Line

In Russia, the fish are so tough they jump back in the water stealing your fishing rod as they go. Vladimir Putin would be proud.

This video takes a little while to get going, but it’s worth sitting through the nothingness in order to enjoy the payoff at the end.

This poor guy finally catches a fish after God only knows how long of sitting waiting in the cold weather for something to bite. It’s a big one too.

Unfortunately, as soon as his back is turned, the fish jumps back into the water and swims off with his fishing rod. You literally couldn’t make this stuff up.
