Hes a baby I bet he's only 2 or 3 years old but has learned to equate humans with food. Not good.

There's something wrong with the fishermen. They turned their backs on him and tried to pretend. That's not bravery. It's ignorance and stupidity.

Imagine coming home and finding a burglar making a sandwich in your kitchen. This is how the bear feels.

never realised some people were not to bright in this situation, though it's a small bear, they are still dangerous.

Man invading a time honored food source for the bears.

That bear could've gotten any of them easily in seconds and there would've been nothing any of these idiots and their rocks could've done

The bear looked back after that 3rd rock like "ruuude" 😂😂

Do fisherman usually just hang out after a bear appears next to them and just keep on fishing? What the hell is this?

That's a young grizzly, barely a teenager.

Don't EVER run with a bear nearby. It triggers an attack. At 2:10 this grizzly is considering charging and pouncing on that guy loping through the water. 3 full bounds out of that bear and he would have been mauled.

Is it me? Upon seeing the bear, it's a wrap! You guys act as if it's a stray cat. Life goes on, and everyone continues to fish.

So they fly thousands of miles and drive another couple of hundred to fish side-by-side with 50 other clowns in a 50 yard stretch of water for dark spawned-out SALMON!!!??? They deserve to be bear food.

how on earth do like 20 fisherman have no bear spray between them?

Bear just wants to know why they are in his river! Oh, and thanks for the snacks!

Poor bear. Next time someone should bring a picnic basket for Yogi.

Bear's thinkin': I don't know what these things are, but they have my fish - because all the fish are mine. Give me back my fish!"

I didn't see any fighting back.

The fishermen were very close [way too close} and showing some incredibly stupid bravado somehow thinking their number would give them some kind of protection.......some potential Darwin Award winners in that video

...a bear cub

Not one can of bear spray ??

Awww, what a little cutie! It’s great how the men left its territory and went elsewhere rather than harm it in any way. Good men 🍀

The rangers say to scare the bears off (just been through several national parks), throw rocks, shout - don't yield food or give them fish - lock up all food/scents etc. Need to keep them discouraged from seeing humans as a food source to keep them safe/respectful - bears that are pests or fed will be put down, they become a danger. So throwing the rocks & scaring the bear off probs saved it's life - & probably a fishermans.

Worst behaviour possible: - going to fish in a bear country without arm or spray - remaming at few metres in phishing spot - feeding him with salmons, that will make the bear associate humans with food in general and in particular in that point Closure of the circle.....the title of this video is totally fake

In a group to survive a bear attack you just have to be faster than the other guy

Bear was like "look at all these nice people they caught all these fish for me. I'll be back tomorrow guys thanks!"

He is a beauty

I live in NYC, I dont know shit about wildlife but Id love to experience it. I do know one thing though, if I was to ever visit an area where I know theres wildlife like this, please believe I will be strapped.

The bear needs those fish to survive. The men don't. It has a point.

It's always a good idea to carry a stringer of fish as you run away from a bear..

Way to go, guys! I’m sure the next group of tourists will thank you for making it more dangerous for them. And the bear appreciates you making life more dangerous for him when he gets labeled a nuisance or even worse, a threat, because he’s now learned humans = food.

The bear is like this is my territory bitches getta fuck out.

Guide's responsibility to manage conduct of his fishermen. This is an example of how not to do it starting with the basic rule: while facing the bear, back off, don't run. stop fishing and immediately release a fish on your line. I wonder which lodge or fishing group this is, should be banned forever.

Well I am from Alaska and I have been to this river several times to fish! The bear is not in the wrg! If you have a bear coming at you, you toss him your fish! This is the bears environment, we are just visitors on these rivers and guess what if you want to live to fish another day you toss your fish. They are lucky that this was not a full grown Grizzly. If it was they would have been running their asses off!

Bear: Can I fish??

Just a matter of time before geniuses' like this earn a seat at the Grizzly Dinner.

This is some real beavis and butthead type sh*t!

Grizzly is probably thinking "why are there so many puny little humans doing in my playground? let's play with em for a bit"

You can tell this bear is hungry.the bear is like...Hey Dude you come in my territory, eat my fish, and then you refuse to share...oh, no no no no we're going to have to work this out, this is not two ways, only one way.. and it's MY WAY...🐻...😁😁🤣😀

Fish men invated bear land.

I live in Juneau Alaska. I have multiple black bears in my yard every day all spring and summer. We almost never have grizzlies in Juneau. Blackies and grizzlies don't tend to range together, they will try to kill each other, the griz usually wins. A griz will generally leave you alone unless its hungry, or has cubs around, in which case it will eat you. Blackies are just ornery nasty creatures who will attack and maul you for no apparent reason. I've been charged several times. Bears are usually on you before you can respond. Those fishermen would have been smarter to all back away slowly and given the griz all the room it wanted. I carry a 12 gage full choke Remington shotgun, and my .357 Ruger Super Blackhawk. I'm older now so stopped carrying my .44 Ruger Super Blackhawk, though it's a better bear gun it's heavier, plus I have small hands and I could easily fumble while cocking it. I load the shotgun with 3 slugs, then two scatter, followed by four rest slugs. If you can get 3 slugs in it by then it's right on you and two blasts with scatter might blow it's face off, and then if you are still standing you can pump more slugs. I have two friends who were seriously mauled, and a coworkers father was the last man on the trail of a group of six on Admiralty Island, a griz circled to the back, took Mr. Sievertson, disemboweled him in one swipe and was eating him when his hunting buddies turned around when they heard his screams. You can't let it paralyze you from enjoying the woods but you have to be ready. They move like lightening fast. They almost always circle behind you if their intent is to eat you. Pepper bear spray is bullshit, it just makes you taste better and will not stop a bear. On Admiralty Island the grizzlies rush toward the sound of a gun as they have learned there may be a dear for them to steal. Many people get attacked while gutting a dear they just shot. One person guts the dear and the other stands watch. I make no bones about it, if it means me dead or the bear dead I'll do my best to kill the bear. We have lots and lots of bears....

This is funny because basically all these fishermen are right smack dab in the middle of this bears dinner plate.

That's a young grizzly bear. I know for a fact. I haul water all over North Alberta and British Columbia. These guys are fortunate that it wasn't a full grown female. That bear is just curious,and of course the smell of the fish brought it in close proximity to the fisherman. I also angle the rivers on the Alberta side of the Canadian Rockies. Nice video guys 👍

the bear is like get the fuck away from my fish

4:14 the bears like "i like ya nd i want ya.. we can do this the,easy way are the hard way"

He just needed a snickers bar.

🐻just give me all you're food and nobody gets hurt!!!😂😂

Bears all: "what's good people; what's up in this bag?".

He just came for some berries, no biggie 😂

Bear: I guess humans will feed me fish!

Thats why I always have my 44 magnum revolver with me when I am fishing....

run away in river, 3 mph, teen age grizzly, 25 mph

It's like an idiot convention.

Thats a small bear, not full grown

I relate the the bear. This year with the virus fishing became very popular. Places I used to have alone would be packed.

That bear is so cute. Bear - "What are those stick things you guys have to make the fishies come to you? Can I have a stick thing?" Humans - *throw massive rock* Bear - "FYN DEN!"

Fisherman: Can I take your order, please? Bear: I'll have the salmon croquets with a side of scrawny fishermen.

A friend of mine had a great white wolf as a pet. It was long as my car! His head alone was about 1/3rd of my entire body. It liked having his belly rubbed and gave out kisses to anyone who would ask him too. Seriously the wolf acted just like a domesticated dog. Some big animals can be domesticated, like a great white wolf. His name was little bit, i think. I sure do miss that wolf. RIP Poncho and Little bit. You will always be missed. The wolf death was caused by a driver. Poncho died helping someone. The two deaths were not related. Happened at different times. Just a man and his pet Wolf. What a weird life it has been for me.... I love it!!

It's my kitchen, says the bear.

Aclamatizing bears to humans - height of foolishness.

Hey, when was this filmed? 2011? what month? thanks.

He's adorable!

Is this down at the Russian River.

Funny....... dude said Holy crap. The bear is so hungry he don’t give a damn.

That looks like a scratch log at the beginning of the video and it looks like he'd been at it for a while . You might have all been unwittingly invading his fishing hole and that's why he figured the fish were all his. - Good things to look for and stay away from before you set up to fish. Looks like it ended up okay though. - As for the guy who thought the bear wouldn't be back, - absolutely he will unless a bigger bear pushes him off the territory!

That bear is going to come back for more fish

I was in that exact place last year. thankfully no bears. bears during salmon season are no joke.

Not at all, the bear may be hungry but he/she's more scared of us than we should be of it. Make your stand, with your hands over your head and talking very boldly to the bear and it will run off. Those fishermen would be left with the fishing hole to themselves. I know because I have the experience with bears to know what I'm talking about.

Shazam, It's gettin' closer! Shazam! It's almost here!...Shazam, it's...AAAAAAAHHHHH!!

Yes, it is ok to throw rocks. In fact that bear should have received the hazing of its life, but instead it learned that humans = food. Not too good. Bear spray, bear horn and rock throwing would have done the trick. Wild animals MUST be taught that humans are dangerous. Also a good idea to be packing heat in a bear zone in case hazing causes the bear to attack.

It was a few years ago at the end of June during the Sockeye run.

That bear has the face of a weasel and the body of an elephant. Scary looking monster!!

He looks so sad sitting there. Like a dog when your munching on a snack and not sharing xD

he's just a baby bless

Now because of their passivity it will be even more encouraged to approach humans.

Looks like the hole below the Grayling campground on the Russian River. This happens all the time there once the salmon are in thick.

Liar, The bear didn't Chase anyone so obviously no one fought back

Guess I'll just continue to get my salmon at the store.

If everyone in the group pelted the bear with rocks, he would leave. when you throw him a fish he will NEVER leave and harass you and injure you next time...

Don’t ever ever ever go into the woods without a gun

This bear stole away my heart

Chickensh*t fishermen - strength in numbers - go after the damn bear

Now theres a fish tale; I caught a biggun but I had to give it to a bear

Don't they realise The Grizzly is not a full grown adult.

That bear is like what I want to eat surfer or turf. Then he said to himself I don't want to eat no stupid humans because I might get stupid too.

These must be the stupidest people on earth, they even turn their back on it at close range,I did not see one person with a gun!

These fishermen are encroaching his space .

You ged him a fish. Nah, won't come back. LOL

Human hunting and habitat destruction has absolutely crashed bear populations in the US. We're much more of a threat to them then they are to us. Notice there's about 50 fishermen to one lone bear. Yet he's called "the beast" in the video. He needs the fish to survive these fisherman are doing it for sport.

This is so not an attack!! Those fishermen are in the bear's territory, so deal with it!!

Well, what da you know. Bears like Salmon ! Hold the front page.

Nothing to add, absolutely true.

There's something wrong with the bear health wise. He's skinny but has no interest in eating fish. Young one too, I suspect.

THAT'S ONLY A VERY HUNGRY BEAR CUB..COME PN GUYS..

dont waste a rocks, he quickly realize its not thread to him

You saw it people taking chances with a grizzly bear!

I been to Russian River. Pretty cool area. The thing is, that's his fishing spot too. LOL We have only black bears in Ketchikan. I lived in Anchorage for two years. Went on a trip into Denali. Saw a Griz with three cubs. Huge freaking Griz!!

Fish belong to the bear. Bear think... why are you guys stealing my fish?

It’s his territory, get the hell out

Don't mess with thah bear!!

Get yer own pole, bear.
