Cheeky octopus steals fisherman's bait in Florida
- 5 years ago
A hungry octopus was caught stealing live bait from a fishing trap in Key West, Florida.
Footage shows the octopus attached to the top of the trap and using its long tentacles to reach the fish inside.
The filmer told Newsflare: ''We were enjoying nature and the outdoors while doing some fishing off of the seawall at our home in Key West, Florida.''
''When pulling up our pinfish trap to show our friends the live bait we were using for fishing we had noticed an unusual sight.
''We put the trap back in the water with the octopus still attached. I thought it would be rude to interrupt his dinner.''
