In the video, a colleague can be heard laughing as the bird of prey pesters Mathias with a second eagle standing nearby.

The man asks: ‘What does he want, your fish, man?’

Mathias poses with the bird after deciding to share his catch on his vessel in British Columbia 

The man videoing then says: ‘What’s going on with this guy? This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.’

The bird ended up with a nice fillet while Mathias got to pet its back as it feasted on the catch.
