This is the moment a man caught a 50cm largemouth bass - with his bare hands.

Dániel Egri, 35, pulled off the incredible feat at a quarry lake in Délegyháza, Hungary, on April 21, 2025.

Video footage shows Dániel nabbing the bass with his bare hands as it swims up to his boat, having mistaken a floating lure for food.

The sport fisherman and hobby photographer has spent years feeding fish and familiarizing them with his presence, gradually building a bond that made the extraordinary catch possible.

Dániel, from Délegyháza, Hungary, said: "I have been working with fish for many years, feeding them and slowly gaining their trust."

"Over time, they get used to my presence. "

"Building this relationship takes a lot of patience and years of effort. "

"In the past, we used nets for this, but now we have tried catching them by hand and it works!"
