A fisherman took a video of a mink going after the trout he had caught. It was an unusually polite mink apparently, obviously Icelandic \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Fishermen at Litlasj\u00f3 in Vei\u00f0iv\u00f6tn<\/a> found themselves in a strange situation Sunday, when they had to shoo a mink away from their newly-caught trout which lay on the shore. “I’ve seen mink before but never one so docile,” says Sigur\u00f0ur Fjalar J\u00f3nsson, one of the fishermen who took the accompanying video.

Sigur\u00f0ur was at Litlasj\u00f3r Sunday morning when he took this video. “We had been there about an hour and were about to move to another fishing spot, when the mink appeared and clearly wanted to get the trout. We scared it away but it kept coming back,” says Sigur\u00f0ur. “I have seen mink before, but never any that act like that.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
