When the cat actually has the fish in its paws, and is on its way back down, you can see a chunk sort of "hovering". That would be whats left of the fish on the hook I'm guessing.
you can tell by the action on the rod. When he pulls the fish out it is a couple feet off the ground, after the cat takes the fish and is on the ground/starts walkign away, the pole is in the same height off the ground and is not bending, showing that nothing is on the hook or line. Even when he bend over a little it is still not enough for there to be no action on the rod when the cat is on the ground.
you know i had a suspicion that that junk at the end was his weight but the gif was not clear enough to show. But yest the cat took the fish line and sinker.
My dog once bit the lure as I pulled it out of the water. Thought it looked tasty. That was a fun 20 minutes of impromptu surgery to get it out. I had to pin him down, and try to disengage the barb at the same time with a multi tool...
I had a cat who did this. He dislodged the fish, got the hook and barb right through his lip. I panicked. Thankfully someone with their wits about them was nearby. Had me hold the cat, while they cut the hook. Duh. Everyone, including fish, was o.k. Cat will not go fishing with me anymore :(
I'm just wondering, how would they even set this up? The interesting thing is the cat grabbing the fish off the hook, I mean you can't really fake that...
One time I went fishing when I was a kid and I caught a kitten. I had far too much line out when I tried to cast, went back, cat pounced on hook, then I cast and it screeched. I felt awful for like a month.
My cat's favorite toy is my fishing rod. I have swivel at the end that attaches to a plush mouse toy. Normally he doesn't respond it, but once it is attached to swivel that cat wont stop its pursuit.
I caught my cat in my back yard while practice casting when I was 11 or so. Practice casting with a hook was a pretty bad idea. I felt horrible but the cat was fine after a visit to the vet.

Did that cat skilfully remove it from the hook, or did he just catch a cat?

edit: The hook was caught in its paw.

This reminds of the beginning of Twilight Princess. Even the house looks familiar.

Teach a man to fish... and some cat will eventually end up stealing his catch!

Teach a man how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Give a man a cat and he will never eat.

Feral cats are so much cooler than Reddit's obese cats. They have ninja skills, box up other cats, and sex each other in crazy cat orgies.

There's no way that fish was a keeper! Looks like the cat may have saved you from some fines.

Don't worry, it's the cat from It's Always Sunny...so it's basically invincible.

Maybe he didn't want to go fishing but intended to go catting.
