The bizarre video was posted to Twitter with the caption: "@Sethrogen I was filming the flooding here in Jackson, MS, and a large fish started struggling across the road. That’s when your redneck doppelgänger materialized of the swamp and caught himself some dinner."

The filmer, a local man Ben Gray, told Newsflare: "I spotted this large bowfin fish trying to cross the road and I had to get some pictures with it.

"The man tossed it back in the water, downstream of the road, right after the video ended."
