'Cheeky Little Bugger' - Cormorant Takes Advantage of Fisherman’s Catch and Release Policy

Sealife enthusiast Jules Casey captured this unfortunate moment as a fisherman’s best intentions went to waste, with the catch and release of two fish going “horribly wrong.”

Casey captured footage of the fisherman, named George, as he returned his pair of catches to the water at Blairgowrie Pier, located in Victoria, Australia.

But after he released his catch on this occasion, a very hungry and opportunistic cormorant swooped in and gobbled up one of the fish before the “cheeky little bugger,” as Casey put it, went on the hunt for the other.

At least George the fisherman’s intentions were good. Credit: onebreathdiver via Storyful
