A youngster admiring his catch was left surprised when the fish jumped up and slapped him in the face.
Quinn Patrick was on a fishing trip with his dad at Snow Lake, Indiana when the pair caught a bowfin, videoed lying lifeless on a concrete dock.
Crouching over the fish, Quinn deliberates whether someone should put it back in the water.
When suddenly the Bowfin propels itself from the ground and slaps the youngster straight in the face with its large tail.
The sound of the fish making impact with the youngster’s face is not dissimilar to a sound effect used in a cartoon.
Recoiling, Quinn stumbles backwards in shock as his dad begins laughing – prompting the youngster to laugh along with him.
The young boy then states: ‘Dad there’s blood on him,’ and his father replies by gently explaining that the fish got hurt.
Worried, the youngster replies rather sweetly: ‘By me?’ Before his dad reassures him that he is not to blame.
The video concludes with the father discussing the size of the Bowfin’s teeth.
Bowfin are native to North America and are commonly found in east America, south Ontario and Quebec.
They are demersal freshwater fish, which means they live and feed at the bottom of lakes and seas.
And are piscivore, which means they are carnivorous and predominately eat other fish.
Common names for the fish include mudfish, dogfish, mud pike, griddle, grinnel, cypress trout and choupique.
