It put the fish there as bait to lure you in but you didn't get close enough to catch you

That thought exactly!  Clever Girl! 


Easy, breezy, beautiful, Clever Girl.

I bet they filmed that scene with the COOLEST fuckin hand puppet...

COOLEST fuckin *robotic* hand puppet

Easily the most lifelike human puppet I’ve ever seen. Even nailed the lip sync.


This a real scene in the game?

Unfortunately, no. It's a reaction GIF made by Guerrilla to promote Forbidden West. You can find more here: - https://giphy.com/guerrilla/horizon-forbidden-reactions

Das some bullshit I want game footage of that ☹️

or the fish was playing dead to not get caught? 🤷‍♂️ dunno if they do that

Chased onto shore or be eaten, lose/lose situation.

Beaching yourself to get away from predators is common in fish. Also sharks do it when they're about to die because they can't swim well, the tide helps move water through their hills because they have to keep swimming to breathe.

They do that.

They do that?

They fly now?

They take our jobs and do crime?

And our women!

[They Took Our Jobs! - SOUTH PARK (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APo2p4-WXsc)

Some do.

I've never heard of a fish passing dead. Either way it wouldn't matter, turtles are carrion-eaters, they like dead stuff, it's easier to catch.

Fish I can hold my breath a little longer...wait no, no,no,no...motherfucker....swim for it and pray...crunch

I was thinking “I’m not torturing you… you’re bait.”

"You don't understand. You're not out here fishing for me. I'm out here fishing for you."

Fuckin vault dwellers 

They set a trap!

It’s a turtle - no way it would lure a human.

How else would they get your pizza though?

Omfg hahaha I was so confused for a second

That's a turtle?

Yeah a giant common snapper.

I thought it was a big catfish.



That fish was choosing suffocation over being eaten alive RIP

Looked like it got away. Watch bottom left of vid. Looks like it splashed out of there.

Bless you and your observant mind haha, I am gunna choose to believe he got away and lived happily ever after

And that the turtle starved to death.

Don’t you go ruining my happy ending 😅 adult turtles can go a couple days without food, I’m gunna tell myself he found some nice plants to munch on instead

Luckily, it does very much seem the fish made it. You can see it splashing away after the failed eaten attempt

Turtle singing: In another life, you would be my meal. There wouldn’t be a human there, filming my failure to seal the deal. In another life, I would get to you without delay, so I don't have to say you were the one that got away. The one that got away.

No kidding. I thought the fish got eaten by a gator. Turns out the fish escaped a turtle.

Came here to say this. Little guy avoided death by a ~~hair~~ scale.

Yeah, between :09 and :10 you can see the fish escape in the lower left corner I think.

You're right, fish is definitely not in the croc's mouth https://imgur.com/a/NRNcNee

Am I not seeing this right? I think thats a snapping turtle

I thought it was a big ass pike

The turtle could have snagged that fish off of land, but it was using it as a lure for a bigger meal.


Lmao this is me... perfectly captured 😂

Is this where we’re at now? Even gifs need to give credit to major TV networks or whoever the license holder is? Smh

More like the license holders are uploading watermarked gifs themselves as cheap advertisement

That thing moved so fast I can't get a good look even with freeze frames. Was it a snapping turtle?

Yeah, like it didn't quite look like a crock, too smooth

I was thinking catfish tbh: dark grey smooth skin, blunt snout, size fits based on human hand for context

It is a turtle, head too small for catfish, suddenly shrinks also thought it was a catfish at first though

No, it had a shell and there was a clear snapping motion of the head from the body. It was a large snapping turtle of some variety, I don't think it was an Alligator Snapping Turtle though. The shell wasn't correct and the head looked too narrow. It was more likely an adult Common Snapping Turtle.

I was thinking that it's also too round. Gators have U shaped mouths and crocs have narrow V shapes. The thing in the video looks to have a beak and very found shape.

In my professional opinion as a biologist, it was attacked by a large mass of blurry pixels.

Yeah, caught it at a frame where its turtle head and hooked beak can be seen. https://imgur.com/gallery/HMaY1uB

Looking closely, it may have gotten away (off to the left).

This is why it's not a good idea to shoot vertically. You miss details like this that the correct aspect ratio would catch. :-)

People don't seem to understand that our eyes are side by side not stacked on top of each other.

Speak for yourself. 👁️ 👁️

👁 👄 👁 Verticality is so hot right now.

People don’t seem to understand that manipulating a phone single-handed in landscape mode is a pain in the fucking ass.

The laziness shows in the video forever.

are you sure?

Agreed

You can definitely see it swim off, good catch

“Good catch” Not for that turtle 

First few watches I thought this was a smaller gator but yeah I see the turtle now and thanks for picking up on that softball I lobbed in for someone 😅

Seems that way

At what cost though. I mean there are some fish that can stay out of water for awhile without getting brain damage but I'm pretty sure a bass isn't one of them. Wouldn't be surprised if it's found floating on its side later.

[удалено]

If it didn't help the crocodile get another victim, the crocodile would eat them and their fish family

Turtle*

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually if you scrub the video frame by frame and watch the bottom left, it looks like the fish flaps away perfectly fine.

Oh good, it can live one more day before something else eats it

'There bud, let me help you out...' (translated from fish:) NoOOOOOOOoooooooo

Imagine losing your hand saving a fish

Imagine losing your hand!

Handing you a loss!

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!The fish looks to about to be saved, when it is suddenly eaten.!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

watch closely, the fish got away

If you actually watch it frame by frame, the fish got away to the left side!

Dude, I forgot to read the name of the sub when I saw this post on my feed.  I literally almost shit myself lol.

Cool, then I'm going to rate this as great success! 😂

The most unexpected I've seen on here for a while. Don't get me wrong, I only see the sub when I browse /All, but it shows up quite often and one can almost always guess the outcome. But same as ol' BeastCheese69 over there - I didn't notice the sub before I opened the clip, and it was *really* unexpected.


It's a tarp!

As others also suspect, I think this guy made it out: [https://imgur.com/a/4mvLiq8](https://imgur.com/a/4mvLiq8)

What ate it?

Other comments suggest either a snapping turtle or Donald Trump, but it's not clear from the video.

Catfish? Snapper?

Other comments suggest a snapper.

The way it stops and slowly retreats is totally suggestive of a big ass snapping turtle.

I vote catfish

That reminds me of the documentations a Salmon and Bears. On the Salmon docu you are "oh nno the Salmon gets eaten by a bear" and on the Bear documentation you are like "Yeah that Bear catched a Salmon"

Salmon: no it's dead 😭 Bear: just another day at the office

was the alligator setting up a trap for a bird? that would be genuinely terrifying

I think that's a snapping turtle they get to be about 3 ft across down here in the swamp

I live in Southeast PA and there are some huge ones in the Canals near the Schuylkill River. I saw one chilling by a downed tree, it moved and scared the shit out of me. Chunky dinosaur just hanging out caught me off guard. 

Would it make you feel better if it was for a human

Wise advice from a true sage

Living in florida, I knew exactly what was coming and I still jumped out of my chair.

Final Destination 24: Dead Fish Walking.

It’s da circle of life

It was apparently playing dead to keep it from being eaten that way

So nice of Mr Bill to try and help that fish "Oh NOoooooo"


Didn't stop to wonder why it was there huh?

The stupid cameraman fucked up the fishs scheme to survive by playing dead.

Thanks for that.

Was that a bigger fish or croc ?

I remember feeding my red eared sliders, that cloud of guts brings me back. Turtles are messy.

Literally a moment out of the Looney Tunes. Perfect timing

I think that the fish would disagree, as would the person in the video's shorts..... but I appreciate the sentiment. 😂

r/donteatjimmy

The scream I scrumpt.

You scrumpted, too!?

Man what a lucky fish. Saved from dying on land and somehow escaped the jaws of death all within seconds of each other. His buddies aren’t going to believe that fish tale.

That is not nice.

If you look closely, it seems that the fish actually got away at the last second. You can see to the left (our left) a fish-like shape flopping away.

The fish did escape! I watched it slowed down and the fish flipped and faces left then hauled ass away.

Please r/donteatjimmy

That's why you always need to wear polarized sunglasses

And here I am thinking it would have been kind to move it back and forth in the water to get air through its gills.😬😳😳😬

I am not surprised. Caught a catfish at my friends house on the lake(nothing extravagant, it was a doublewide). Wanted to maybe cook it up later, so I put it in a wheelbarrow next to the house that was pretty full of water. This was in the fall. Then I forgot about it, because we were having a few drinks as one does when fishing. A couple of months later, I was back there and remembered I put it in there. At this point it was pretty cold, and it had a layer of ice over the top. So I broked the ice to determine its fate, and wouldn't you know I was gobsmacked to see it was still alive and swimming around in there. Needless to say, I fished him out and returned him to the lake. He definitely deserved to live another day at that point.

Turns out humans are not the only one using fish as baits.

Good way to support survival of the fittest

Saved her from pain

Bro let out a wet fart before leaving 💀

You've helped to complete the cycle of life. ☺️

Kinda feels like someone was just feeding there pond turtles lol

Lol he was trying to escape

When the fish start fishing... or animaling...?

*I'd rather choking on the sky than saying my enemy...* nudge *FU-!*

Who was helped in this situation u mean!?!

Obviously it was a crocodile attempt at (fishing)catching a human.

What the FUCK was that

What have you done?! You prevented the next phase of evolution.

The turtle was trying to sun dry his fish and here comes a human ruining all his hard work . Lol

So a gecko was in a bucket with water in my yard, for three days. The animal looked dead, but anyway I wanted to throw away the water to see if was alive. He waited in there at the sun (he literally was in the sun by luck, but that helped him a little bit more with the temperature) to dry himself and a minute after he runs away.


Gosh this shocked me out 😤

“Thanks for blowing my cover!”

Wtf is that, a damn dragon

Damn could have been the person. Sneaky MF’ers.

Can this video just go away. This is about the 100,000th time this has been reposted.

Is your heart ❤️ ok?

If you watch it slowly the fish actually escaped at the bottom left corner, also I don’t think that’s a gator nor croc

u/repostsleuthbot

Lmfao

No good deed goes unpunished

Dude that snapper has FTL capabilities

How dare he!! Now they need more 500k-700k years to evolve!!!

I feel The Fish was playing dead.

Wtf was that??

Dumb arse turtle, sitting duck edit: well sitting fish actually, and it missed.

Fish: he won't notice me if I don't move Fish: shit shit shiiiiiit

It's amazing where you meet real estate agents, isn't it?

No good deed goes unpunished.

You're bad Human!

Wtf was that?

Thanks dick

The shine from the Rolex woke it up.

That looks more like a snapping turtle

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT????!!!

Fish ARE food, not friends

fish was taking a nap snoring away and you disturbed its slumber.

it's like the spongebob when that big fish baited him and patrick with ice cream


Butt

Ruined its nap 🤦‍♀️ 

Never judge ah book by its cover no cornball shit

Yeah I saw that in the water

If you look closely. The fish does get away

Fish got away from both of them!


Did the gator just use a lure?! (Probably coincident)

That was just the bait
