Fishermen always talk about the "one that got away". Well, here's one that got away only because a snake stole the fish after it was caught by a young boy.

According to the video's description, Cindy Kruller's young son caught a perch, then reeled it to shore. After the fish flopped around for a bit, it actually unhooked itself. That's when a garter snake takes the perch. Sneaky snake!

What's even more funny about this video (above) is the little kid's social media awareness, saying, "Mommy, you have to put that on YouTube."

Smart kid.
