Fisherman Capsizes Boat Trying to Reel in a Large Pike



This funny video shows a fisherman in Russia attempting to reel in a huge pike - and losing the battle.

The huge fish proves too much for him, and, after much huffing and puffing from the man holding the rod, the boat capsizes in the struggle.

The pike may seem to have a mind of its own - but it's nothing compared with the fish discovered by residents on an Australian island recently.

They have been left terrified by the discovery of a fish that walks out of water and can breathe on land for six days.

The climbing perch, described as "aggressive", has lungs as well as gills, and could cause a "major disaster" for Australian wildlife if it reaches the mainland, according to researchers from James Cook University.

The fish has spread across Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and was also found on two small Australian islands a few years ago.

They are believed to be able to travel across land on their pectoral fins and, the clue is in the name, may even climb trees....

Think we'd rather stick to the pike.
