So real? or fake??

Wow, I'm not sure, anything is possible, but wouldn't a fish that big be HEAVY? Or....slippery?

I won't say fake, but definately a staged scene. Half dead or artificial fish?

I mean, it is cute, but that is a big fish for such a little girl!!!

Bec!

My first thought was totally fake. Fins are spiny and it would've hurt tucked under her arm like that and no way my girls would carry something so yucky!

BUT, I read the comments and a lot of skeptics went over it with a fine-tooth comb and concluded it's real. The fish must've been exhausted from spawning or something.

IDK...could be real or fake....very cute though!! LOVE IT. LOL

Isn't catching fish with your hands called noodleing?

It is. They do it a lot up here. I'm surprised she could carry that, it was good sized.

I've never done it, cause those fish have teeth and BITE! They make special gloves for it and everything.

I imagine that fish was 90% dead. It was hardly moving. Fake fish or dead fish.

I bet one of the parents had caught it earlier and left it out for a while. Probably put it back in the hole and showed the daughter where to get it.

Those things are usually really hard to wrestle out.
