A passerby caught a man catching a fish with his bare hands on a flooded California road.
"He's going to have dinner tonight," Danielle Garcia can be heard while capturing the moment in Watsonville. The man holds up the large fish for her and others to see.
The video was filmed in the same area where the Pajaro River’s levee was breached by flooding that pummeled the state.
