Video: Houston man catches fish inside of home flooded by Harvey

The pounding rainfall in East Texas has brought one man's passion for fishing from the great outdoors to inside his own living room.

A viral video recorded by Vivian Saldana shows an unidentified Houston man wading through nearly knee-high floodwaters in his living room, attempting to catch a fish with his barehands.

The catch doesn't come easy, as the man leaps about the house, splashing into the water as the fish darts away. The fish is eventually captured when it tries to swim past him again and the man falls to his knees, hands landing on the fish.

The video had more than five million views before noon on Sunday.
