Any angler will tell you that one of the keys to a successful day of fishing is to bring the fish aboard the boat, rather than join it in the water.

Unfortunately for this guy, accidents happen.

Note that he did catch the fish, though — and kept his sense of humor.

“This is my buddy Al and I out goofing around after testing baits at Hyatt Lake,” explains the guy who posted the video. “I actually thought he had a decent one on until I noticed his keys, cellphone, hat, and camera laying on his seat. The girls were up relaxing on the bank in the sun close by (you can hear them laughing).”
