- A video captured the moment a cheeky raccoon steals a fish from a woman
- A woman and man are fishing on a boat when the animal tries to steal her catch
- The woman thinks the raccoon is a cat at first and her friend warns her
- She then gives the fish to the raccoon and it runs away
One woman reeled in more than she bargained for when she went fishing.
A bizarre video shows a raccoon desperately clinging onto a fish she caught in shallow water.
She tries to wrestle with the pest as it keeps a firm grip on the catch, but then feels sorry for its plight.
‘Hey dude, I’ll give you the fish but let me get the hook out of it,’ the woman says to the creature.
A video shows a raccoon desperately clinging onto a fish in shallow water the woman had hooked
The raccoon continues to battle with the woman for control of the prize, all while the hooked fish struggled on the line.
The woman at first mistakes the animal for a cat, and repeatedly refers to it as ‘kitty’.
Her friend says: ‘That is not a cat, do not pet him.’
The woman at first thought the animal was a cat, but her friend corrected her
After reeling in the fish, the woman takes pity on the bedraggled raccoon and gives it to him
He then points out that the red fish is ‘having the worst day ever’.
She eventually manages to free the fish from the line, and hands the animal to the bedraggled raccoon.
It is currently unknown where the video was filmed, but it is believed to be somewhere in the U.S.
