Pro Fish Hunter, a YouTube channel devoted to fishing, uploaded this video. It turns out that the youngster quickly became popular online. The 8-minute video is nothing more than a confidence crash course.

If one were to observe, the boy was also using some type of dough putty. Anyone skilled at fishing would know that worms and small fish are the most common types of bait used by anglers.

The little boy moved to put up the fishing lines after wrapping the dough around the hooks.

This child had different ideas when others would be waiting for fish beside the water. He just leaves his fishing lines in place.

The young man returns three hours later. He finds more extended fishing lines and a few tilted sticks this time. He doesn't touch the lines once again till it catches some fish.

This means that some fish may have become entangled on the stick. Then, he starts tugging and spooling his fishing lines to see the day's catch.
