For the most part, fishing is considered a relaxing activity. Sure, there are times when you may catch a massive fish — or, perhaps, save the lives of some trapped seal pups. But for many, a large part of the fun comes from enjoying the beauty of nature. But that’s not what made a recent fishing trip memorable for Carly Tofuri’s husband. The highlight of this trip didn’t even come from what he caught that day.

Instead, the big moment of the day seems to have come from his very own bait bucket. You see, it can get rather cold in Maine. So, while the man did his very best to catch something, the bucket of fish intended for bait froze into ice… but not the entire bucket. See what I mean in the unexpected video below!

“Has anyone ever seen this happen before?” Carly asks in the caption of her video.

Naturally, this shocked fisherman had to share his portable aquarium with just about everyone that he possibly could. Because, come on, what are the odds of that happening!?
“I love how his energy gives small child finding animal/bug outside and brings it in to proudly show mom,” someone points out in reply to Carly’s video, with another person adding, “Ok how he holding the ice with bare hands so long.”
