An amusing video has emerged from Chongqing city, China of a man jumping into a pond to drag a huge fish he thought he had caught out of the water, only to fall head first into the pond and for the fish to escape.

A spectator happened to capture the slightly awkward moment last month. According to the filmer, the man decided to chase the fish after he failed to net it.

The filmer initially wanted to record a cheerful achievement while unexpectedly caught a failure.
