Viral Video: Meanwhile in Russia, Fishing with Bare Hands Like A Boss in Freezing Water
So you can fish. But, can you catch a fish with bare hands and pull it out of a freezing water?
A viral video shows that the Russians had taken fishing into a whole new different level. In the video, a man is shown sticking his arm down a hole in what appears to be a frozen lake and literally, catching a fish with just one bare hand.
It's very similar to "noodling" practiced in southern parts of the U.S. "Noodling" involves sticking your arm to a catfish hole. It's mainly used to catch flat cat fish.
The amazing thing about the video is that, unlike in noodling, sticking your arm in an icy water would not guarantee you a fish. Besides, the water could freeze your hands off.
Since it was uploaded by YouTube user MeanwhileRussia, it has received almost two hundred thousands views so far. A lot of fascinating things seems to come out of Vladmiri Putin's country. Along with "Ice Fishing Like A Boss", MeanwhileRussia features a total of 62 videos.
Apparently, netizens are fascinated with manly things from Russia, like from Putin's shirtless horse riding and swimming in the winter. The YouTube account currently has more than five thousand subscribers and a collective views of more than three million.
The whole experience proved to be a delightful for the child in the video. Aside from the freezing temperature though, the video seems pretty tame compared to the video of a man who caught a fish using his genitals as bait.
