A fisherman couldn’t believe his luck after reeling in a catch only to discover he’d snagged two fish at once in this incredible video.
Ryan Groves was fishing with friends Aaryn Vera and Ayden Tague on a lake in Canada when he made the lucky double catch.
At the start of the video, which was recently shared online, the shadow of a fish can be seen swimming beneath the surface of the water, fighting against Ryan’s fishing line.

The fish continues to hold the second fish in its mouth as it is brought aboard the boys’ boat in a net
Ryan is heard saying: ‘Yep, it’s a big f*****g pike boys’.
On closer inspection the boys decide the fish appears to be a ‘steely’ or steelhead trout.
He then double checks that Aaryn has the net ready to scoop up his prize.
Ryan casually confirms to his two friends: ‘Yep, I got it.’
As the fish begins to rise above the body of the lake the trio notice that their catch has a second fish clutched in its jaws.
The three friends begin whooping and cheering with one of them yelling ‘Oh my God’ repeatedly.
The two fish are grabbed in a net and hauled on board the boat where the three friends whoop and cheer at their double catch
The two fish are then dropped onto the floor of the boat so the three friends can get a better look at their double catch.
Ryan is heard repeatedly saying ‘he got my steely’ as he stares in disbelief at the two fish.
Still in shock, Ayden tells the group: ‘No, I got that on video!’
The incredible catch was filmed this year in May.
‘Steely’ or steelhead trout belongs to the same family of fish as the rainbow trout but are anadromous, meaning they migrate upriver from the sea.
Steelhead trout are the state fish of Washington.
