Florida boy charms Twitter with catch-and-release fishing video: ‘Let’s put this beauty back in the water’

October 21, 2019 By Gary Gastelu

A boy is going viral for his adorable fishing style.

Ke’mari Cooper of Quincy, Fla., was fishing with his dad Velt on Sunday when he landed a seven-pound bass — his personal best — using a “black trick worm” lure.

“Seven pounds!” Ke’mari exclaims while holding the large fish up for his dad, who is filming the catch.

An obviously excited Ke’mari explains that he just knew he was going to catch something that day.

“Let’s put this beauty back in the water,” he says in the video, before walking back over to the lake and gently easing the fish back in. “I hope you grow even bigger, baby.”

“I hope you go back and be better,” he continued while petting the fish.
