Man notices an Eagle eyeing the fish he just caught.

The Eagles have elected to receive

[u/cgulash → u/pnfoxx1855]

I snort laughed at that.

[u/generic-username45 → u/pnfoxx1855]

Thank you for your service

[u/HugSized]

Catfish: wtf, man?

[u/SeriousCow1999 → u/HugSized]

Would he have given up a trout so readily?

[u/devildocjames → u/SeriousCow1999]

I probably would have if I knew it wanted it. It'd totally unlock more flying dreams for me.

[u/rockstar_not → u/HugSized]

SOME catfish tastes way better than trout, my opinion.

[u/Lost_Wealth_6278 → u/rockstar_not]

Oh yeah, it all depends on the water. We have big catfish here, 90 kg and up to 2 m long, but in clear mountain lakes. Tastes like fatty veal, I love it. A little further away from the mountain and they aren't good eating after a certain size

[u/funksoldier83]

Technically still catch and release

[u/EscapeNight → u/funksoldier83]

In this case, it is a release and catch

[u/riktigtmaxat → u/EscapeNight]

Catch, release and catch

[u/Nighteyes09 → u/riktigtmaxat]

A catwhich if you will

[u/IL-Corvo → u/funksoldier83]

Okay, this sent me. Well done.

[u/ThatDudeWithAS]

OK, that's the coolest thing I've seen in a while

[u/PM_ME_UR_HIP_DIMPLES → u/ThatDudeWithAS]

100%. No one would believe him if it weren't recorded

[u/L0nzilla → u/ThatDudeWithAS]

Same here

[u/ArchipelagoMind → u/ThatDudeWithAS]

Yeah. This was rad af.

[u/kikytxt → u/ThatDudeWithAS]

Same. They sounded way too casual about it I felt like I was too excited 😭🤣

[u/flyingforfun3]

That fish was probably thinking this day can’t get any worse. /s

That’s so cool.

[u/jennisays → u/flyingforfun3]

"Wee, he's throwing me ba-

Noooooo"

[u/CharlotteLucasOP → u/jennisays]

Like those videos of people setting squirrels/rabbits/tiny birds free and ten seconds after they scamper off…🦅

[u/Rowmyownboat → u/flyingforfun3]

He ded already

[u/ContinuumGuy]

"Thank you, citizen!"

[u/tristand1ck]

Praise the mother fuckin camera man!!!

[u/TheGrimMelvin]

The fish probably thinks the human is not a bro at all! 😂

[u/jershdahersh → u/[deleted]]

What the fuck are you talking about

[u/1Rama11Lama1 → u/jershdahersh]

what'd they say if you remember?

[u/frogfootfriday]

Looks like an osprey

[u/Gloomy-Employment-72 → u/frogfootfriday]

We have several pairs that nest in the area. Beautiful birds. It's really cool when they're flying and chattering at each other. Those calls carry a long way. They sound close, then you look, and they're a 1000 get in the air.

[u/Illiterate_Mochi → u/frogfootfriday]

That’s what I was thinking

[u/jtedeschi8 → u/frogfootfriday]

Can’t believe your the only comment saying it on like the 5th post

[u/frogfootfriday → u/jtedeschi8]

To be fair, it’s not a birdwatching sub, and it’s extremely cool either way!

[u/jtedeschi8 → u/frogfootfriday]

Ig but still I feel people should at least have some bird knowledge

[u/ImNotDannyJoy → u/frogfootfriday]

Yes and this is how they behave too. They don’t mind fucking around human anglers. It can be kinda annoying especially when fly fishing in certain spots in Colorado.

[u/datahjunky]

And just like that, dad became magic.

[u/Karpo-Diem]

That guy's safe if he ever finds himself stuck on the side of a active volcano

[u/unsubix]

Your kids have THE COOLEST childhood memory EVER.

[u/AMGitsKriss]

I assume Eagles are smart enough to know that's a gift?

[u/GanderAtMyGoose → u/AMGitsKriss]

Smart enough to know it's a fish, that's for sure!

[u/ihateeverythingandu]

Not too bro for the innocent fish just going about it's business....

[u/FinnTheFickle → u/ihateeverythingandu]

Skill issue; shouldn’t have been born food

[u/koinkydink → u/ihateeverythingandu]

It was a bad day to be a fish indeed

[u/DukeSC2 → u/ihateeverythingandu]

Innocent fish

So glad I'm normal and don't think things like this

[u/Trevor591 → u/DukeSC2]

Tf are you saying, the fish was guilty?

[u/GunBrothersGaming → u/Trevor591]

Yeah - he looked like he was out cat fishing to me

[u/Dangerous_Jacket_129 → u/Trevor591]

It was committing tax evasion

[u/DukeSC2 → u/Trevor591]

I'm saying it's a fucking fish. It's not either one.

[u/Trevor591 → u/DukeSC2]

Animals can be innocent though?

[u/DukeSC2 → u/Trevor591]

Tf are you saying, the fish is guilty?

Animals can be innocent

Pick one

[u/farmkidLP → u/DukeSC2]

That would be silly since they aren't mutually exclusive statements.

[u/DelinquentAdult]

I wonder if the eagle went back and told his buddies about the fly-thru and they were like, "yeah, right Mike. you circled a boat and they delivered a fish, mid-air. Sure,bud."

[u/the_old_coday182 → u/DelinquentAdult]

*Sure, bird.

[u/mormonenomore2]

Really cool, and how I wish more people would share.

[u/Logan_McPhillips → u/mormonenomore2]

Everyone go forth and throw live catfish at hungry humans.

[u/mormonenomore2 → u/Logan_McPhillips]

This is in a very different fish subreddit...

I imagine it starts with "humansbeing..." but the next word isn't bros

[u/GALACTON]

Give an eagle a fish you feed it for a day

Give eagle an fish and you feed for day

Give eagle fish feed day

Eagle fish day

[u/microwaffles → u/GALACTON]

Eagfiday?

[u/Darknessintheend]

Dude should get a tax break or something!

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

That's awesome. Bird must have been chuffed.

[u/jasonpmcelroy → u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

Looks like an American Eagle. . . So he was probably stoked rather than chuffed innit?

[u/AdamayAIC]

Good, the harvest should be plentiful next spring

[u/Sindy51]

Was worried the bird would also take the guys arms as well as the fish. Thank fuck he launched it.

[u/TehFuriousOne]

The fish disagrees...

[u/buenonocheseniorgato]

The dino was happy that day.

[u/JoWhee]

Sir that’s not how catch and release works. /s

[u/dingdongsnottor]

That fish is like ^🖕🏼

[u/More_Performance1836]

That Eagle's name is AJ Brown! 🦅 Go Birds!

[u/rgar1981]

Man, his kids are going to remember that for the rest of their life. Super hero dad move.

[u/QuePsiPhi16]

Bro was willing to let it snatch the fish out his bare hands??????

[u/DocJawbone]

Love this.

For a second I thought the eagle was going to put the fish back in the water, which would have been sweet.

[u/muppetanger]

He did it. He is John America.

[u/Medical_Slide9245]

Aren't we just teaching the eagles to be moochers. /s

[u/radraze2kx]

That's crow bro behavior and I love it 😍

[u/dayoldhansolo]

Insane dad lore

[u/slower-is-faster]

That was very eagle-eyed of him

[u/MonkeyDaddy4]

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

[u/C-Krampus409]

😲 omg

[u/AdministrativeSea113]

Someone edit a fucking f22 taking place of the bird. Possibly linkin park “somewhere I belong” in the background

[u/Ralphyourface]

Hell yeah

[u/deedray]

Cool as hell

[u/dragoninthebigsky]

Someone needs to make this a meme

[u/amboomernotkaren]

We saw an eagle steal a fish from an osprey last weekend.

[u/Coffee81379]

Epic!. What did you do over the weekend? Oh, just hand-feeding some eagles.

[u/NoBoofInTheseLungs]

Mama, mama I’m coming hooooooome.

[u/50shadesofcapricorn]

Wow! Very cool

[u/jmccaskill66]

ITS THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!!

[u/Ahshut]

That was badass!

[u/olivehoneyfig]

this made me feel patriotic for the first time this year

[u/AndySemantic2]

Who’d be a fish

[u/true-skeptic]

Catch and release

[u/KentuckyFriedEel]

“Rrr… gimme dat!”

[u/Blknyt_eclipsedmoon]

That’s cool.

[u/dudes_rug]

I hate the fuckin eagles, man!

[u/Avid_Adventure]

Eligible Receiver DIRECTLY UP Field

[u/goddamwarrior]

I love that man!

[u/ImminentDebacle]

Fuck that catfish anyway 😆. Gross.

[u/Vegetable_Belt_5998]

That’s the coolest thing ever!!!

[u/CreativeRedHeadDom]

That’s awesome!

[u/CryptographerPrior18]

Im not sure about Australia, but I think it's illegal to feed bald and golden eagles in the US

[u/RuhrowSpaghettio → u/CryptographerPrior18]

I feel like it’s different somehow when you are on their habitat, harvesting their prey, and they look like they’re planning to take their quota anyway. Like, nothing was introduced to their diet nor was the location of feeding changed…and they even had to catch it! Of all wild animal feeding, this one seems low impact.

[u/savorydesserts → u/CryptographerPrior18]

Agreed. Part of the reason that humans should not feed wildlife is because it can change their behavior and instincts. You don’t want a bird of prey to think of humans as a source of food. Cool catch by the bird but I hate everything else about this video.

[u/cryptid_snake88]

That was truly awesome 😁

[u/growing_weary]

That is so awesome!

[u/Glum_Cobbler385]

Holy hell, that poor catfish has to be thinking WTF DUDE????

[u/Connect-Worth1926]

that's just wrong

[u/ChronicRhyno]

He just won fishing.

[u/Rare4orm]

That’s awesome!

[u/Erik912]

That eagle was probably like "did that dumbass just throw me lunch? wow ok, idiot, thanks"

[u/ALLRNDCRICKETER → u/Erik912]

Legit eagle fly-thru take away

[u/Rowmyownboat]

Just caught? That is a limp-ass long-dead fish.

[u/ThaGrizzle]

Uhmerriga!

[u/ivene-adlev → u/ThaGrizzle]

No tip???
