Little boy overwhelmed with emotion at first fish catch

A little boy's reaction to catching his first fish on Lake Champlain is warming hearts.

An adorable little boy out fishing with his dad on Lake Champlain in Quebec made his very first catch – and it may be the cutest thing you see today.

MICHIGAN FISH SMASH 2 STATE ANGLING RECORDS

The young angler is seen in the nearly two and a half-minute clip reeling in a fish as his dad walks him through the process. As he attempts to bring the fish in, he giggles and at one point exclaims the creature is “fighting” him.

“It’s the first day of my whole life!” he says with delight, while struggling against the fish’s pull.

At one point, his dad tells him to keep the line tight, which causes the little boy to shoot him a pouting look, but he recovers his excitement once he sees the fish start to pull his rod down.

Eventually the little boy is able to pull the fish up out of the water where his dad catches it with a net.

Once he sees his large catch, he is suddenly overcome with emotion.

“That was my first fish,” he says. “That makes me cry.”

Soon, however, he returns to his happy-go-lucky self when he dad hands him the fish to pose with. The little boy giggles while holding the slippery fish and then throws it back into the water.

Those on YouTube, where the video was posted by Storyful earlier this week, were delighted by the father-son bonding moment.
