A man used a duckling as bait and ended up reeling in a snakehead so massive that it snapped his fishing rod.

The video shows a man using a duckling to draw the attention of a snakehead, a common traditional fishing method in river communities. After several minutes, the water suddenly moved as a large snakehead bit the hook. The struggle was strong enough to snap the fishing rod in half. Despite losing his rod, the man managed to pull the snakehead, nearly the size of an adult’s calf, onto the grass.

The scene, both entertaining and dramatic, shows the simplicity of life in the Mekong Delta. It captures an everyday moment as gripping as an action film, with the lead role taken by an oversized snakehead.
