Kid Makes Rare Catch! This Kid Caught the Illusive Spoonbill or Paddlefish while Noodling Catfish!

[newhorizonsgloballlc.]

The way that fish acted dead for the camera is legendary

[leopom]

And the Oscar goes to… Spoonbill for the most realistic death.

[dlibity]

That’s the calmest fish I’ve ever seen with a arm shoved so far in its gills that it’s coming out it’s mouth. All without the slightest twitch!

"It won't hurt ya" worst advice for reaching into an unknown riverbank hole

[spinessticksandhooks]

Surely this was staged, that spoon didnt have an ounce of fight or life in him. Looked like the kid was tossing the fish around to me.

"Whatever it is, it won't hurt you".

Alligator snapping turtle: Hurts her.

If it wasn’t already dead I doubt a paddlefish will survive long after having someone’s arm through its gill plate, they are delicate giants

So sweet to see a father and son spend time together like this

[solideomusical]

It just warms my heart seeing a father teach his son to lie.

"Take my picture?"

"Nah son, we making a movie" lol

“Gee Willikers pa, I found something weird”
“It won’t hurt ya. We killed it already.”
And the Oscar goes to…

That is awesome. My grandfather had a spoonbill over the kitchen for as long as I could remember. He always told me stories about catching them at Mississinewa in Indiana. He said that was the only way to catch them because they wouldn't bite bait. Their mouths were too small.

"Just catch it, it won't hurt you" proceeds to catch an off brand shark.

[lemcortez]

Sir, that’s one of the most calm fish I’ve ever witnessed being “caught”.

[useralpha]

The way that fish shot up out of the water and then immediately acted dead was amazing

[Brody]

The fish didn't even put up a fight, feels like he/she 😂

[Speedzymoves]

The rocks behind them had more liveliness than the spoonbill

[peterzambuti]

“😐 oh wow that’s a giant fish 😐” that fish isn’t dead at all 😂

[danielfrancis]

"Catch it, it won't hurt ya"
Comes up with 4 water moccasins attached to his arm
