California Man Catches Fish 'Swimming Across the Road'

A man was seen showing off a fish he caught in flood waters in Watsonville, California, after heavy rainfall forced evacuations across Santa Cruz County on Saturday, March 11.

Video recorded by Danielle Garcia shows a man walking to his truck with a large fish.

Garcia told Storyful traffic came to halt after drivers noticed the fish swimming in the flood waters.

“The guy jumped out of his truck and caught the fish with his bare hands,” Garcia said. Credit: Danielle Garcia via Storyful
