This fisherman was dumbstruck when he picked up a trout that began ‘speaking’ to him.
Footage obtained by Newsflash from the Colorado Parks And Wildlife’s Southeast Region (CPW SE), USA, shows a man plucking the lively creature from a water tank and showing it off to the camera.
It wriggles around in an apparent attempt to escape his grip – and lets out what almost sounds like a disappointed sigh when it fails.
The trout, which appears to have been freshly fished out of a nearby lake, made the man visibly happy.
He puts on a huge smile as he holds up the nearly 15-inch-long ‘talking’ fish in front of the camera.
Although it is not particularly uncommon for an underwater creature to make noises, it is still an incredibly rare thing to witness.
CPW SE said in a short statement obtained by Newsflash: “You can’t buy happiness, but you can get a fishing license and that’s pretty much the same thing.”
